Anybody combine middle school band with high school band?

That is what I am forced to do because of the size of my school. (k-12 ~470 kiddos) Usually what I end up doing is that I "shoot for the middle" in terms of difficulty. Something that will be slightly challenging for middle school/upper elementary, but slightly easier for high schoolers. (I actually pull kids as young as 5th grade into my band.) This seems to work out alright, but it has it's pitfalls. Your more talented students might get bored, so I offer an after school Jazz band where I play an instrument with them and the music is more challenging, for those students who need a little bit more.

I hope this helps!

Additional Posts in Instrumental Music Teachers

district is asking us to hand out instruments to kids before school starts.... but they are untested assigned kids..... they tell us to do this at the same time we are supossed to be in district training. then they say if it's a problem just do it earlier. what happens if you give a beginner a school instrument before they actually start instruction? Guess we will find out

Tell me you have bad admin without telling me you have bad admin.

I'll go first- last school principal with no musical training forces all 7th grade to do band and said in oreder to get them interested in playing an instrument I need to get in front of them and play every instrument for the students and talk indef about them each day. Meanwhile they would be popping in to make sure I'm teaching that way because I wasn't trusted 'to do as I'm told.'

I’m a certified PE health teacher and we have recently moved to a small town in Nebraska. They have asked me to be a full time sub in 6-12 choir and band (only opening and they can’t find a Music teacher) I know nothing about band or choir. I’m reaching out to see if anyone has resources I can use or any help you may have. Thank you

Considering a move, help! I teach k-12 vocal music at a school where I have/had a vision to improve the culture of singing (very sports focused small school) to build a choir program, which will take several years (2 years done). Been working diligently with my elem. music classes to create a climate where students are comfortable/willing to sing. I'm estimating 3 years to see middle school students buy in, and 5-6 years before my high school program sees any fruit of that labor. Stay? Move on?
