Thank you, parents/guardians, for a great beginning to our year! I am very pleased with the progress that your children have made in such a short time. Thanks for your feedback on the blog and emails. I will make every effort to respond ASAP to your questions or concerns. Some of you have asked how much your children should be practicing each week. I am expecting that every child practice a minimum of 2 hours a week. This is necessary to build up embouchures, memorize notes and to reinforce all of the music reading skills that we work on during our rehearsals. Keep encouraging your child's practice at home - this is one of the most important elements for the beginning musician's progress!
Concert dates are posted in the right hand column of the blog - just scroll down until you find them. Please get these dates on your calendars! Make sure you invite grandparents, etc to these performances. The band students love to perform for them!
Please do not hesitate to contact me via email (Del.Hubers@k12.sd.us) or respond to the blog and I will do my best to answer questions or address any concerns that you may have!
Enjoy your Labor Day Weekend!
