Band

Students should practice for 30 mins 3-4X each week outside of class/masterclass.  

-Focus on warming up for 10 minutes from TOE Page 42 Concert Bb activities (everything on this page). 

-Then review (for about 10 minutes) the material covered in the TOE band book pages 3-6 (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).

We will also play a piece out of our Traditions Of Excellence Book "Ding Dong Merrily on High".

Brass should use the Bandmate Chromatic Tuner app (it's free on all devices and absolutely crucial to finding the exact pitch on a brass instrument). The link is found here: http://www.bandmatetuner.com/
