Students should simulate the structure established in class for their own practice session. Make sure they are sitting in a chair that does NOT have wheels or arm rests. The more frequently a child practice their instrument the quicker they will progress! After each practice session student MUST fill out a Google Form documenting their practice. Please note that a child must list what they practiced, as well as how long. In attempt to establish good habits documentation must occur on the day of the practice session. Students who submit multiple logs on one day will have a 5 point deduction for every late entry for a maximum weekly grade of 75. All submissions are due Sunday by midnight, and will count as a weekly grade.
Students can find the link to the Practice Log on their canvas page as well as the band website under students.
