Why Practice?!
This video says it all. Watch and observe the positive and life changing brain activity that happens as a result of practicing.
Practicing is vital in building muscle memory, as well as brain activity and strength. It helps you solidify new ideas and skills learned. Practice makes what you have learned become part of YOU.
Strive for 20 minutes of practice 4-5 times per weeek. Thank me later!

Private study is encouraged for all band members. This is a cornerstone of our culture here in District 61. There is no substitute for the value of private instruction. The private lesson directory will be shared soon. As this is built, lessons will be available here, Downers Grove South High School, or Hinsdale South High School. We are also committed to finding ways to ensure all students have access to lessons. Please reach out with any questions.
