Lake Braddock Woodwind Ensemble Introduces Music to Younger Students

The Woodwind Ensemble recently performed at several local elementary schools to introduce students to music and band instruments.  

“It is good for all kids to be exposed to music, and what a great band to do it," said June Holder, band instructor for and Sangster Elementary Schools "Lake Braddock has one of the best music programs in our country.”  

Lake Braddock's Woodwind Ensemble is composed of 7^th and 8^th grade students directed by Louis Bean, who has been teaching at Lake Braddock since 1992.

“We're neighbors to the best bands in the country — the military bands.  With their influences and the support of the parents, teachers, and community members, we are able to have a very strong music program,” he said.
