Classes are starting to move faster and practicing is becoming more important. Not only is practicing how we continue to develop our sounds, but now it is to be prepared for the next lesson in class. Each class has lines assigned before we will play them in class. Using the practicing process we learned in class, the students can study lessons successfully on their own. If your student feels frustrated, have her/him review the process before they continue playing. Currently, each class is making their own flash cards for note names.
