Artwork depicting titles of new concert band music from Travis J Weller. The images include a valley after a storm, a sunrise over a rock, and a Viking ship with a dragon prowl.

Looking forward to sharing some new music this spring! #concertband #musiceducation #highschoolband #middleschoolband

My new favourite end of year wrap up! Students come up with 26 things we learned from A to Z. Toss an object in a bucket to see how many points. So much fun AND interesting to hear what they remember working on. #MusicEducation #BandTeacher #MiddleSchoolBand #Grade6Music

A small pile of black polyester dresses on a wooden floor.

Ah, that special time of the #school year, when all of my projects get put on the wayside so I can #hem the middle school girls' #band concert dresses. If you would like to give yourself a bit of #sewing trauma, hem up 20 or so of these slippery polyester beauties. 😂 #middleschoolband #sewingisfun

What happens when students take the lead?
Real quotes after #CircleDayInBand —a student-run rehearsal that builds leadership, listening, musicianship, and trust.

Some Eckstein students can even memorize complex #orchestra pieces like this. It is amazing to me that middle school students can get to far this early on! I remember performing hard pieces but not by memory.
