Hello to all.  This is my first attempt at a blog so be patient please.  Some reminders :  The Band christmas concert is Thursday Dec. 6th at 7 pm.  All band students are asked to be at the school no later than 6:30 to get prepared for the concert.  Dress is Black pants (or skirt for the girls) and your band shirt.  For grade 7 students the dress is  black pants/skirt and plain white shirt.   Also, the grade 9 – 12 band will be playing at the school variety show on Monday Dec. 10th.  I will post the time in class and then on this sight when it is confirmed

The Key to becoming a better player is to practice, practice, practice.  The basic language of the music you play will continue to be the scales you practice.  Incorporate scales into your daily practice along with the music you need to look at. 

Remember also that to become very good very fast, you must practice very slowly.
