You know what to do! Intermediate Band Pay extra attention to number 41 (page 43) for the Chromatic scale, 46/47 a new scale, 49 for improving breath control. Number 51 is our final number for this week. Beginner Band The "orange boxes" in your lesson book have all kinds of important info. Please read them often so that you are reminded what we have learned in class. Along with that are the tiny orange boxes on the side o your page that teach the fingerings for new notes. In many ways the fingerings are even more important than the note names. When we are learning the music language for our instruments we need to interpret each notation with our fingers and mouths. Flutes and brass instruments need to pay attention to where the note is on the staff. The higher the placement of the note, the higher the sound should be. The higher pitches are reached by blowing faster air. Following the music and the conductor. This is a skill we need to practice. You must keep your eyes on the music so that you are playing the correct notes but you also need to be aware of the conductor. This is accomplished by setting the music stand at a level where you can just see the baton over your music stand. You need to read your music like you would read a book and only glance up from time to time. We got to number 37 this week.
