Progress Reports Update!

We have just finished up our progress reports for 2nd quarter.  Most of the students came very well-prepared (even after having so many days off for vacation and snow days).  Most of the comments that I made on the reports deal with tone production - this is something that we will be concentrating on for the whole year.  All of the students must make sure that they are using enough air to produce the best tone possible and playing long phrases with that breath of air.  Also, many new fingerings and new notes have been introduced which will need to be reinforced during their practice time at home.  Hopefully all of the students are in a routine of regular practice as this is necessary to continue making the exceptional progress that they have already made!
