Excellent Performance on Progress Reports!

Although rather hectic, the past few weeks were spent listening to the band students perform individually during their lessons. If your child was absent this past week, I will listen to them during their lesson next time I see them!  Most of the students came very well-prepared and I am excited to begin working on our pieces for our Holiday Concert!  Many of the students are moving quite rapidly through their lesson books and making exceptional progress.  Ask your son/daughter to play some of their holiday tunes for you!  In a few weeks, I will also be handing out some holiday melodies that all of the kids can play for grandpa and grandma, holiday get-togethers, at church, etc.  Everyone has the melody on these pieces so all of the kids can play them regardless of what instrument they play!  Please continue to encourage their practice time at home as this is necessary to continue making progress on their instrument!  Until next time...
