Concert Band

1. Have the proper set-up at home for virtual class and practicing on your own.

   • Music Stand

   • Chair

   • Pencil

   • Working Instrument

   • Valve oil/reeds/supplies

   • Music

   • Metronome

   • Quiet place to work

2. Be focused during rehearsals

   • No talking or playing when you are not supposed to

   • Keep your hands to yourself (Do not touch others or their belongings. Respect everyone)

   • Write any helpful note names/accidentals/rhythms in your music

   • Listen, listen, listen

   • If you have a helpful comment or question, make sure to ask

3. Submit Assignments on time

   • Teachers and students have an enormous amount of computer work. Submitting everything on time will help everyone stay on track and will save time having to follow up on missing assignments.

1. You must either rent or own a properly working instrument, with the exception of a tuba or bari sax

   • If you are not in a position to rent or buy your own instrument, please let me know and we'll make it work!

2. Buy supplies either at a store, online, or from me (reeds, valve oil, music stand, metronome, cleaning swab)

3. The school will supply a folder and music

Just Mrs. Jarrell. The playing assignments will be done in Flipgrid and they will not be made public. Only I will see them. Keep in mind - every student is progressing at their own level. I am not looking for perfection, I am looking for improvement. I'm super proud of you and I love hearing you play. Don't be hard on yourself, that makes it MUCH harder to get better as a musician. Just have fun and do your best. It will be pretty cool to listen to your first recording and then your last one at the end of the year:)
