Practice Assignment 11/3-11/17: Carol of the Bells (Handout)
First year players should also be reviewing pages 6-7 in their books.
EXPECTATIONS:
Students should practice at least 15-20 minutes 3-5 days per week. It is important to practice regularly to build stamina, muscle strength, and muscle memory.
It you start to ache while you practice, STOP. Take a break and come back to it later.
Students will remember to bring their instrument and book to all lessons.
Students will listen quietly while instructions are being given. This means no talking or playing of instruments so that everyone can hear.
Instruments are to be treated with care and respect. They are very fragile and can break easily.
Do not be afraid to ask questions! That is how we all learn.
Music is supposed to be fun, not stressful. It is okay to make mistakes or not understand something right away. We all learn at our own pace and ALL of you can learn to play well!
