Elementary School Band Room Design & Music Education Solutions

The elementary school band room gives beginning musicians what they need for ensemble practice as well as small group lessons with their music teacher. Music chairs with straight backs help students learn to keep proper posture as they play, while contoured seats keep them comfortable. Adjustable music stands hold sheet music in place and can be easily adjusted to match each student's height. A conductor's chair and staff-lined dry erase board allow the music teacher to direct learning musicians and present musical concepts to the whole class.

Requirements for a Great Band Room

For Students

The band room should provide the comfortable yet structured seating necessarily for good posture while playing musical instruments. It should be easy for students to move in and out of their seats, and to maneuver around the room as needed. Music stand should be adjustable to accommodate students of various heights.

For Teachers

The band room should feature wide walkways so they can move between band sections to offer mentoring when needed. There should be space at the front of the room for a conductor's chair, ensuring the teacher can see the whole class easily. Shelving and sheet music storage should be available to keep the room organized, and a teacher's desk provides a space for lesson planning and personal storage.

For Administrators

The band room should be furnished in a way that meets the needs of their school's music program. Products must be readily available and delivered on time. Installation should be quick and efficient.
