My kids started playing trombone and saxophone last June and it’s been so much fun to see how much they’ve learned in just a year. They started from zero – not even knowing how to read music – and now they play full songs with great rhythm and technique. Their confidence has grown, and most of all, they love playing!

As a homeschool student, my daughter had a rather late start to band. She started as a sophomore in high school, under the direction of Scott Himel. And now … after just 3 years of band under Mr. Himel, my daughter joined her college band with a scholarship! Because of Scott’s encouragement she now plays saxophone with the Arkansas Razor Backs Marching Band, Bass Clarinet with the Wind Symphony and flute with the worship team.
