Attention Beginning Band
Beginners Weekly Practice Records
The first bright pink practice record is due tomorrow and every Tuesday. (Elearners have this posted in their GC to print) Please check with your student and please sign it tonight. As discussed at the Virtual Meet, each week the students will be instructed what to write in the big box for each week. This is their plan for that week. It will usually have 5-6 things to work on every time they practice. The grading scale is 20+ minutes each day to get full credit for that day. 7 Days = 110, 6 Days = 105, 5 Days = 100, 4 Days = 90, 3 Days = 80, 2 Days = 70, 1 Day = 60 and it is a zero for no time at all. Practicing the entire time in one day will not count. Practicing daily develops muscle memory and reinforcement.*Elearners will show us their PR at the beginning of class on Tuesday to receive their grades.
Practice Records will stay in their binders so we can write on them throughout the week.
Beginners Google Classroom Assignments
Last week two assignments were placed into their Google Classrooms. To help the students get on track with the band GC below is what was put in last week.
- Due Tuesday, August 25th Please upload a picture of you sitting in a firm sturdy chair with your music stand set up with their band binder on it.
- Due Friday, August 28th Please upload a picture of a score of 300 or higher on "Name That Note"
Beginner Book Essential Elements Interactive
Today the students joined EEI. It has their entire beginner book with fun play along tracks, demonstration videos, and the ability to summit video recordings. This is an amazing platform for the students to use.
Attention Symphonic Winds and Concert Band I
Both groups are off to a great start! We are playing in small instrument groups in different rooms to get more individualized assistance. The Elearners also break out into groups on a meet to be with their like instrument groups.The students received their Pass Off Objective Sheets last week and Pass Offs will begin this week. We will hear many of these during their class time but some will be submitted through Flip Grid. What is assigned for the week is due by the end of the Week. All students should be practicing at least 5 days a week for 30 minutes or more. Daily practice is essential for achieving a grade of an "A" on their Pass Offs.
