Announcements
 
 
Summer is here! 
 
Don't forget to practice your instrument and come back better than when you left! :)
 
PARENTS
Please note that we will be asking each student to purchase a "blue book" for next year. It is titled "Foundations for a Superior Performance," and it is available on Amazon.com for as little as $6.
PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU GET THE BOOK THAT IS APPROPRIATE FOR YOUR CHILD'S INSTRUMENT--A FLUTE BOOK WILL NOT WORK FOR A TRUMPET PLAYER.
 
 
 
 
A NOTICE TO ALL PARENTSAll band students are expected to practice regularly (preferably daily) outside of class in order to perform as expected in the class. Here are some ways you can help:
  •  Encourage your child to bring their instrument home and practice daily
  • Have your child play for you often so you can hear if they are improving
  • Set aside certain times that are designated practice times and make sure that they are observed, just like homework time--practice habits are just that, habits!
  •  Encourage your child to take time to PLAY on their instrument. Music is about FUN, and sometimes it's best to put the sheet music away and experiment with the instrument. 
  • If you play an instrument (like guitar, piano, or a wind instrument), play together with your child. It will improve both of your abilities, and it will provide you with quality time together!
