The course will begin with a simple introduction to how the instruments work, what they sound like, and where they sit in the band and continue with an overview of different kinds of bands. We will discuss the relationship between conductors and composers and talk about the early history of bands on the frontier, with emphasis on the works to be performed during the summer season by the USU Alumni Band. No musical background is required, except for an interest in bands.
