Great job instrument testing this week! I'm really excited about starting you out on your instruments next week. Be sure to get your instrument and bring it to band class this week. I'll have your books ready for you. Be sure to handle your instruments carefully and keep them away from little people in your family! They will get their turn later. =-)
* Practice good posture and breathing while practicing recorder.
* Pass off on "Amazing Grace" and "Ode to Joy" this week. We will probably use those on our concert- in just a couple of weeks! It's coming up fast!
* Research and report on famous people who play your instrument. Let me know if you have ever heard of them or not.
Intermediate Band:
*Practice all three scales (same ones as last week). And, remember, you don't have to play them so quickly.
*Practice Armed Forces Salute, March Militaire, Peter Gunn, and the Winchester March. We will have a pop-quiz pass-off for next week......oh, the horror!!
*Bring all of your books.
Advanced Band:
12 major scales, one octave or more according to your instrument's
range
The arpeggios from I Recommend
Chromatic scale pass-off
All Sheet music

Terms to know: meno
mosso, ma non troppo, poco a poco, con moto, L'istesso.
