Fingering Quiz next week!
The 3rd Quarter Fingering Quiz will be given next week. The students will be asked to recognize their notes on the staff and fill in their fingerings. This is an excellent review of their notes and fingerings.
Solos handed out!
All of the band students received their solo this past week and have begun working on them! The students will have opportunity to perform their piece for Mr. Kessler or Mr. Miller later on this spring. This is a great way for the students to prepare a piece individually and perform for another music director. Parents/grandparents/guardians are invited to come and listen to their child perform. I will be sending out a schedule as the date approaches.
Spring Concert Music!
Music for our Spring Concert has been handed out also this past week. It is hard to believe that we are planning for our final performance of the school year already! The students received a wide variety of band literature that we will be looking at preparing for the concert.
Standard of Excellence, Book 2
The band students are very close to finishing the first level of their method book, 'Standard of Excellence'! It is very exciting to see the progress of this year's students! All of the band students will need to purchase the second level book for the remainder of the school year. They will also use this book at the beginning of next year. These books can be purchased at any of the music stores in Sioux Falls.
Keep encouraging your child to practice and listen to them as they prepare the music for the rest of the season!
Until next week......
Mr. Hubers
