The book comes with a free Essential Elements "Interactive" version, a web based version that includes lots of extras. (I refer to this as "EEi")

GATE BAND, 6th Grade AND 7th Grade Band:

• Band students in grade 6 will use the Essential Elements Book 1 that you received as a 5th grader last year.

• Assignments will be given on Schoology. 

• I highly recommend that you use the free Essential Elements "Interactive" website that comes with your book! See the back cover of your book for instructions on how to use Essential Elements Interactive. Using EEInteractive will allow students to record, practice with a metronome, and it makes practicing so much more fun!

• Once you register, you will be able to see your music on your device, you won't need your book!

• Students are asked to record their assignment and submit using "Schoology". 

• Students will finish the book during their 7th Grade year.

8th Grade:

• All music will be furnished by Mr. Walk
