The 5A class has shifted from choir to Band. The students have been assigned an instrument and a workbook, and been given their first assignment of making a video of them practicing the first few exercises. As these fledgling musicians begin this journey, it is important to encourage them and offer positive feedback. Learning a new instrument and how to read Music is very similar to learning a new language. It takes time and the most important activity one can do is practice, practice, practice. Please help your student practice their instrument for a total of 30 minutes a day. This will help them make quick and steady progress. I am excited to make some Music this term!
