Band students should practice 3-4 times per week, for 20-30 minutes per session - but more is okay too!  

Please follow the link to the “Band Resource Folder” - all music for both 4th & 5th grade performance pieces and other additional items are posted.

For additional practice assignments:

5th grade students - start in your music book on page 16 & move forward

4th grade & 1st year students - start in your music book on page 7 & continue

*CLARINET & SAXOPHONE PLAYERS* - please be EXTRA CAREFUL WITH YOUR REED!!!  I will not be able to provide you with a new reed until we are back in school. 

So - now is a great opportunity to take your time when putting your reed onto your mouthpiece - go slowly, make sure it's placed perfectly, and try your best not to damage it!!  

• If your reed is no longer working, have your parent search on Amazon for: 

"Rico (clarinet) or (saxophone) reads" (make sure you search for the reed that goes with your instrument!)

• 5th grade - #2.5 or 3 strength 

• 4th grade - #2 strength

Please check the resource folder again soon for recordings & other band updates. As always, please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns!
