I'm honored to be your instructor for this semester! I hope to challenge and inspire you to new musical heights. Ms. Rachel
A friendly reminder: As a member of this group, you've committed to practicing a minimum of 45 minutes per day, 6 days per week.
Warm-up:
Nothing is more important than a good warm-up session. Brass should
rotate through the lip flexibility exercises in Hilliard. Katie, you
should play your regular warm-up from lessons. Andrew, rotate through
the Chromatic Warm-ups beginning on p. 14 of Hilliard. Play slowly and
slur each interval.
Scales: You are responsible for
learning the GMEA scales for your grade level. By the end of this
semester, you will know all 12 major scales. Use Hilliard book as a
reference for scales. Chromatic scale entire range of your instrument.
Rhythm

will discuss this material so be prepared to answer questions from these
pages. Write beats in Exercises 2, 4, and 6. Complete rhythm review
matching on bottom of p. 7. Yes, this should be super easy for you but I
have a purpose for this! Trust me.
