4th grade: 5 mins to 10 mins a day
5th grade: 10 mins to 15 mins
6th grade: 15 mins to 30 mins
7th/8th grade: 30 mins to 45 mins
For Beginners: Take a look in their music book! There are always notes and stickers indicating where in the book we are working.
For B Band: Concert music is ALWAYS a great thing to practice.
For A Band: Concert music is great, and so is anything in your Yellow book!
A Band: if you are in 7th or 8th grade you are in A Band! You have to audition first to join.
B Band: if you are in 6th or 5th grade you are in B Band!
Beginners: if you are in 4th grade you are in Beginner Band
No!!! Even if its a cool blue color, instruments sold online on Amazon and some other websites are cheaply made instruments that will not work well. Please only purchase an instrument through Island Music or Music and Arts
