Pacific University Band Project

The Pacific University Band Project is a partnership between undergraduate music education students learning how to teach, and Forest Grove School District students learning how to play woodwind, brass, and percussion instruments. This unique field-experience for undergraduate music education students provides them opportunities to observe highly trained public school music educators and develop their ability to lead students in a live teaching setting, all under the guidance and supervision of their primary music education professor. 

Our Mission Statement

The Pacific University Band Project is dedicated to:

• Improving the quality of band teachers’ preparation through integrated learning
• Providing live teaching opportunities to pre-service music educators
• Enhancing a sense of connection between pre-service music educators and college experience and real-world teaching scenarios
