Jazz Band music has been passed out to the kids. Jazz Band is completely optional, but many students will want to participate in America’s own original music art form. Look for announcements in the coming weeks about Jazz Band rehearsals.
There are only 6 weeks left in Scale Olympics! We have several Olympians and look forward to many more in these final weeks. Student’s should still be practicing a minimum of 30 minutes each night. There are weekly playing assignments and tests.
