First Band Lesson!

Post date: Aug 30, 2017 3:44:56 AM

The first band lesson is right around the corner! I can't wait to get students started playing their instrument - thank you for supporting their new musical adventure!

**Victory Lane = Thursday

**Integrity Island = Friday

Students need to bring their instrument and book for the first instrument. Care kits and folding music stands can stay at home for now. Percussionists only need to bring their book. If you are still needing to rent an instrument, please visit Rieman Music's website to rent online by clicking HERE.

We will learn the basics of assembling their instrument and making first sounds on their own - our lesson time is a short 20 minutes, but they will have goals to practice over the weekend!

Establishing a practice routine is key to a good progress, self-confidence and preparation for lessons. I encourage students to set a goal of 15 minutes, 4-5 days a week. We will also be starting our Practice Challenge #1 - Karate Kickstart! Students will earn their colored belt for their cut-out person on our bulletin board for the total minutes they have practiced at home!

If your child misses any of the first lessons or needs a little extra help, please check out the "practice buddy videos" provided by our Measures of Success band book - click HERE, and choose your instrument under Woodwind or Brass.
