WOW, I can't believe we have had almost 1 month of band this year already! The students are working hard, some of our "BIG ROCKS" right now are:
1. confident first 3 notes
2. starting notes with tongue articulation (percussion - using correct sticking)
3. keeping eyes on music
We are going to get recognizable songs very soon, I am reminding students that learning something new takes TIME, PATIENCE and PRACTICE! Just like learning how to swim - you don't learn to dive right away, or learning how to cook - you are not roasting a turkey on your first try! So, practicing these easier, basic songs will help us become confident music readers for the fun songs with more notes!
Below is the order form our Lakewood Music t-shirts that will be worn by both 5th grade band and chorus students for several performances through the year! We are ordering shirts through The Norwalk Shop, thank you to Chad Smith for all his help with the design. I will have paper copies at school too!
Order forms and money are DUE Oct. 4!!
