use metronome working from slow to medium tempo.
- p. 54 Breath control exercises, rotate through practicing 2 per day with metronome, use different articulations.
- Maxwell book, #9 and "Movin' on."
- Continue to review the Maxwell book. For our three new Advanced band members, start at the beginning
of the Maxwell book. You should play each exercise and the coordinating etude with your metronome until
you've mastered it. Then proceed through the book in this manner. This will help you "catch-up" with the rest
of the band.

- Solo festival piece, bring your piece to class and be prepared to play a line from it for the class.
Continue to memorize the names of the triads; ACE, BDF, CEG, DFA, EGB, FAC, GBD.
Theory assignment: Go to musictheory.net. Choose "Exercises, key signature identification." Create a custom exercise. Choose the clef in which you normally play, choose the major keys. Start exercise, continue until you're getting it correct. Repeat daily until you've mastered the major key signatures. Also, go to "lessons, minor scales" and work on these lessons to learn how to construct and play the three types of minor scales.
