Well, it's October and registration has closed for this semester. Thanks to all of you for sharing with your friends. Our beginner band feels large, especially with the addition of adults and students from other bands joining in. However, I don't want new students to feel overwhelmed. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us if you are struggling or feeling behind.
Band is like a team sport, together we can lift each other up!! It is also like sports in that each individual needs to keep their strength up by practicing regularly and increasing their own abilities. Beginners should have a goal of 10 minutes per day. Intermediates should be at 30 minutes per day and Seniors should be 30 minutes or more. University students with a music major are expected to put 4 hours per day in if you are thinking in this direction. Professional musicians spend 6 to 8 hours per day as it's their "job" Your book is your best friend in helping you to remember all the new things we've learned in class. Read all the info, refer to extras in the back. Intermediate band - up to the bottom of page 10 with scales from page 42, 43 Beginner band - up to the bottom of page 9 - pay extra attention to anything in orange or green Have a great week of practicing!
