Hello and welcome to the great world of sounds !!!
Mr. Leslie Pozo is the current Band teacher at EBV. In the Band classroom the students have the opportunity to have fun and learn at the same time by playing the instruments they prefer. They start attending the Band program at grade five and the program runs up to grade twelve. This class is an elective and opened for all the students who are interested.

This is not part of the Band program, but it is part of the Instrumental program. In this class, students learn how to play both Recorder flute and the Venezuelan's national folk instrument "El Cuatro". They are also introduced to the Band program by trying some of the instruments at the end of the school year.

Elementary Band: Students learn the basic techniques and concepts in playing an instrument. Repertory and methods are designed to develop their skills in a very fun way. At the same time, they play music from all over the world and participate in all the concerts and events that the school plans during the year. This class meets twice a week as a full class.

Middle School Band: This is a continuation of the Elementary Band, and takes the students to a deeper experience on the instruments. Repertory and methods are much more challenging but still fun. This Band participates also in all the events and concerts, and beside this, they also attend invitations from the local community to play in places like schools and hospitals. This class meets everyday as a full class.

 

Ensemble (High School Band): This is the final stage at EBV for the instrumental music program. Here the students prepare a very wide repertory playing songs that range from a classical to a popular field. They meet every other day (Blue or Gold day) and also participate in school concerts and events as well as doing community services like the middle school band does.
