Students should practice for 30 mins 3-4X each week outside of class/masterclass. Focus on warming up for 10 minutes on the Concert Bb scale sheet (including major scale, thirds, expanding intervals, minor scale, scale master 1 and 2).
Then review (for about 10 minutes) the material covered in the TOE band book pages 3&4 (should be very easy as it is review of grade 6).
Lastly spend the remaining 10 minutes practicing our Winter Concert music (concert is December 8th at 7pm and December 9th Block 1).
