A reminder that students should always have at least 4 good reeds with no chips, cracks or lipstick. The reeds will last much longer if the students rotate them. “A Monday reed, Tuesday Reed, etc…” Reeds are available at a discount. Please make the check payable to Clark Band. You are welcome to purchase your reeds anywhere you like, however.
A clarinet neck strap is available if your child is complaining of thumb cramping. Let me know if you would like us to order one for you.
All students should be practicing p.46 – 47 slowly everyday. These are the notes that are essential to your child’s success. Also lines 40 – 48. Practice cards are due on Monday.
