The teaching methodology applied in Instrumental Band sessions is based on a “modern approach” to music.  

Students are taught different techniques in playing music, theory and musicianship, individually and together as a group. They are also taught how to improvise using basic theory and techniques learnt.

At the end of this course, students develop a repertoire that includes the blues, Jamaican folk and popular music. Students are trained in the art of performance by participating in numerous university and external performances. 

Students also gain an understanding of the importance of practice, listening, singing and the benefits of music education to their overall education at UTech, Jamaica and to life in general.

Instrumental Band Co-curricular is offered Semesters 1 and 2
