The 5th graders have been working very hard this week on mastering eighth notes on pages 14 and 15 in their 'Tradition of Excellence' book. The percussionists are also working on eighth rests and 16th notes in their 'Performing Percussionist' book.
All of the 5th grade band students received their packet of music for our first concert, which will be Tuesday, Dec. 8, at 7:00pm in the Performing Arts Center. The students will be performing a variety of popular and familiar holiday tunes as well as some new ones for the season. Please make sure to let grandpa and grandma and all of your friends know about our first concert!
The students will be receiving their progress report for the first quarter during their small group lessons this coming week. They will also be filling out a fingering chart based on their first five notes on their instruments. Please ask to see their progress report as it will give you an indication of what they are doing really well and an idea of what we will be working on to improve during our second quarter. Please continue to encourage their practice time at home!
Until next week, keep practicing....
Mr. Hubers
