It is vital that practice occurs everyday. The muscles needed to play must be worked every day in order to gain strength. We suggest a minimum of 30 minutes of actual playing. You might want to photocopy the front inside cover of your book so that you can keep a record. Next week Harold will be using number 33 and 37 to assess our progress. Beginner Band A reminder to practice good podium etiquette. It's so exciting to have a big class but we need to let Harold teach :) We talked this week about some tools that you may find helpful. Music stands- although they are expensive we highly recommend Manhasset stands. They come in a variety of colours and have many accessories available. Manhasset is also very repairable, should anything ever go wrong. Instrument stands are also very handy. Hercules is a good sturdy brand. Harold used the KJOS soundtracks for rehearsal today. These are available to you at home. Look for the button on the right hand side of this page on your laptop, or at the very bottom on your phone. These tracks can be downloaded directly to your computer so you don't have to come to the website each time. Please practice up to number 27 this week. You should be practicing about 15 minutes or more each day.

Our favorite music stand is the ratstand jazz. It doesn't scratch floors or walls, and fold beautifully. Wonderfully sturdy.
