General Information
This week was the second week of band class and it was very successful! Thank you parents for getting your students here on time and thank you students for your enthusiasm in class. Congrats to A Band for a successful performance at the pep rally! I am very excited to see how we all process and grow this school year! This form will be going out each week containing updates from class and any upcoming performances or other announcements.
Advanced Band
This week focused on learning the basics of scales. We are starting with Bb Major and it will be the first scale in our scale challenge this semester. I also passed out the first piece for Veteran’s Day: Let Freedom Ring. This should be practiced at home. 3 hours overall for each week is a good goal with any of the music.
Beginning Band
This week focused on first starting sounds on our small instruments and learning how to put the full thing together. Students should carefully practice how to put them together and take them apart at home. They also can start to look at pg. 4 in their red books for their first starting notes. They should not practice for more than 10 minutes at a time for now.
