Hi!
Band will NOT be receiving weekly packets for remote learning. Basically, your assignment will simply be... P R A C T I C E ! ! ! ! ! ! ! You HAVE to keep playing so you don't lose your chops!!!!! You should have your instruments and music home with you. If you have a school instruments home with you, please treat it well! It will be returned to the school at the end of the year. BEGINNING BAND Try to practice at least twice a week. Each practice session should be 10-15 minutes and should look something like this: 2-3 minutes of long tones and your warm up sheet Spend the rest of the time playing through your book. Start near the beginning and play as far as you can. INTERMEDIATE BAND Try to practice at least 3 times a week. Each practice session should be 15-20 minutes and should look something like this: Approx 5 minutes of long tones and warm ups from the back of your book Approx 5 minutes of range exercises Spend the rest of the time playing through your duets, Hedwig's Theme, and fun music by ear 1-2 minutes warm down...start on middle G and slowly work your way down. You have tons of music to work through! Feel free to add other songs! Check back here often, I'll try to be adding things. Also, we may try to do something with zoom. It'd be pretty cool if you guys could play together a bit! |
