Beginning Band:
I absolutely love the way this class comes so prepared each week!
Looking forward to some great concert performances in November!
Remember, not everyone will pass-off each week but it is important to make progress through practice each week...
Don't forget Instrument Testing is Oct. 18 from 2-3pm!
* Practice good posture and breathing while practicing recorder
* Pass off on "When the Saints Go Marching In", "Twinkle..." and as far as you can perform to perfection!
* Research and report verbally 2 flute facts. Try to stump Mrs. Rachel- it's not going to be easy! =-)
Intermediate Band folks, please practice:
*Concert Bb, Ab, and Eb scales (one octave), with arpeggios.
*Page 14, numbers 1 & 2, and page 15, number 4 in the HILLIARD book.
*Page 46, number 1 and page 47, number 3 in HILLIARD book.
*Exercise 7 in MAXWELL book.
*Pass Off will be from Peter Gunn.
Please bring all of your sheet music as well. Happy week!
