Recommended Sixth Grade Band
Repertoire
Authored by David
Conrad
During 10 years of elementary band, I've developed this list
of outstanding materials for a second year band. In my
case, these were 6th graders...students who are 11 or 12 years
old. The list includes links to RealAudio and mp3 audio
files, when available.
