Beginning Band starts October 7!
Beginning Band starts this week! What are we doing?!?!
First thing is learning to count, read notes, and make correct sounds (may not sound correct but it is) with your mouthpiece!
Things you will need for beginning band!
- Your Instrument
- Standard of Excellence for ___________(insert your instrument)
- Pencil
- Highlighter (yellow preferred)
- 1 inch 3-ring black binder
What is going on this week!
You will have Band during your music class time starting this coming week! Although we don’t have school on Friday October 11, we have made a few adjustments for those students who have music that day. All Friday students were to write what day they are asked to attend band during flex time Mrs. Boettler and Mr. Brunger asked the students to write that specific day in their agendas.
I have questions! Who do I ask?
Email Mrs. Boettler (6th grade band) or Mr. Brunger (5th grade band)
How do I get an instrument for my child?!
No worries, please go to https://rettigmusic.com , then click on "Rent", then click "Band", select the Midview School District and follow the rest of the prompts and then you should be all set! Of course you can always email Mrs. Boettler or Mr. Brunger if you have any questions.
Practicing at home
Students are expected to practice at home for 70 minutes each week. Ideally students should practice 10 minutes a day but with today's schedules that may not be possible. PLEASE try to spread out those 70 minutes the best way possible.
Here is an example:
Monday - 0 minutes
Tuesday - 20 minutes
Wednesday - 10 minutes
Thursday - 20 minutes
Friday - 10 minutes
Saturday -10 minutes.
--70 minutes total--
PARENTS! We need your help and support on you child practicing! Make sure they have a proper space to practice and constantly encourage them! You will hear some "learning sounds" but it will get better! Ask them to play for you! Or, if you don't know anything about music, let them teach you!
Private Lessons are SO good for you!
