Parents, this has been a wonderful week! I have enjoyed getting to know your students and they are already beginning to learn how to make a sound on their instrument. Please have your child show you the basics of how they open their case properly and how to make sounds on their mouthpieces and reeds. I know that they are anxious to start making more sounds but please reassure them that we will be doing that very soon. Like next week! I will use this email each week to let you know of any over the weekend assignments and what we will be doing the next week.
Announcements
- Practice Cards are due on Monday, August 29th signed by you. Remember that required practice times are half of what is written at the bottom of the practice card.
- The kickoff for the band fundraiser is this next week, look for an envelope to come home that describes it. We will be doing a color run!
Trumpets and French Horns – Please watch the following videos with your child. They also have some mouthpiece drills to show you as well. Remember, only 15 minutes of practice a day are required.

Oboe and Bassoon – We played on mini-instruments, have them show you how cute this is! They also have some beginning notes that they learned today so they will probably want to show off this too! Remember, only 15 minutes of practice a day is required.
