Nightly homework for all band classes is to practice! It is recommended to practice a minimum of 30 minutes per night, 5 days a week. (150 minutes per week.) Practicing for a short amount of time multiple days a week will reinforce important skills. Find a quiet, distraction-free environment to practice in. Consider making it part of your daily schedule to build a healthy habit. We don't just practice to get it right once. Instead, we practice until we can't possibly get it wrong! Happy Practicing! :)
