Week of 9/22: First Sounds & Reading Line Notes
Practice the assignment below
Watch the videos about how to make the first sounds on your instrument with your family.
Have Fun!!
Practice Assignment (Aim for 10-15 minutes a day of practice)
This week, we are focusing on our first three notes on our instruments. We will learn how to finger them correctly, recognize them on the staff, and we will concentrate on holding our instruments correctly so we can get a better tone.
Watch warmup videos below and practice with them
Warm up each day with your mouthpiece warmups:
High Sounds (8 seconds)
Low Sounds (8 seconds)
Siren (8 seconds)
First three fingerings
Play each note for 8 seconds (this is called a 'long tone)
Play each note in a row (can you do this without stopping to find your fingerings?)
Play the notes backwards (can you do this without stopping to find your fingerings?)
Page 4 & 5 in your Essential Elements Book
Look at your new notes on #1 and #2.
Can you figure out the fingerings and play them?
Try to play numbers 1-10.

Hello band families!
You have found the 4th grade Wayland band blog! This is where you will find useful information about your child's instrument.
This week, you will find a link to a VERY IMPORTANT video below. This video will detail how to care for your child's instrument. It is important that every band member knows how to grease, oil, and set the instrument up properly. If they do it incorrectly, they may damage the instrument. Please watch this video WITH your child.
Please check back on Monday of every week to see what we are doing in band.
Band students,
You should check here every week to see what you should practice. This week, we are practicing how to assemble our instruments and how to make our first sounds.
Watch the video below about how to set up your instrument.
Practice setting it up. This includes oiling and greasing. Can you do it in 3 minutes or less? Trumpets: make sure the number on your valve is facing your mouthpiece, otherwise you won't be able to make a good sound.
You will receive a handout of your first three fingerings in class. Find the fingerings next to this message. Can you figure out how to play these three notes?
Challenge: Can you figure out how to play 'Hot Cross Buns' using those three notes?
Be sure to check back next week for a brand new message!
