No new assignments except everyone is to write a paragraph describing how you will make progress on your instrument during the summer. Include practice time goals, method books, solo books, private teachers, technical studies, and anything you think would help you make progress this summer. Just describe your plan. (You DO have a plan, right?) You may call any of the teachers for advice on this assignment. I will ask for these in class!
