This is the time of the beginning band school year when many students begin to express the difficulty of learning their musical instrument. The "newness" has worn off and they must now really begin to put in regular practice outside of class time to remember all the musical concepts they are learning and mastering on their instrument. Please remember, this is a normal struggle we all experience when things get tough. The only way to get better is to practice regularly, practice slowly, and have lots of praise from those around you.
