Beginning Band
February 24, 2020
This Week!
This week we are working on our assigned CONCERT music in our books (#24, 27, 30, 33). Please check your child's practice log to see their specific assignment to practice for the week.
We WILL be having full Band on Tuesday! Please bring your instruments on Tuesday February 25th.
We are also having a concert that is quickly approaching! Our beginners along with the 6th,7th, and 8th grade bands will be performing in the High School Kubuski Gymnasium on March 16th starting at 7pm. Last week students were given a green paper to take home and present to you with details about this concert.

Standards of Excellence Achievement Chart!
Once a student finishes a column, they will earn a prize!
5th grade Band now has Google Classroom!
Most of the students have been invited through Google Classroom but if they were not, the class code is: mklnwhq
There is a YouTube video in the classroom to show you how to submit a recording (it’s a Spanish teacher showing how to submit a voice memo with her phone). Recording your instrument is the exact same way! Try it out today!
Grading for 5th grade band
Every week, there will be 9 points per attendance, effort, and preparedness (can they play the assignments, did they bring all materials) and 10 points for practice logs.

I have questions! Who do I ask?
Required practice at home
Make sure a parent or guardian initials the practice journal to verify that yes, my child did practice. Have your kids show you the practice journal page!
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!
