Friday's Band Clinic

Hello everyone!

I'd just like to thank all of the students for attending our headstart clinic this past Friday. Not only were they polite and respectful but they worked very hard too. As many of you witnessed, the clinic was well worth the time as our students came away excited and ready to play.

As of today, the students will be assigned songs from the book to practice. For the first few weeks, I will be looking to make sure that they are able to properly assemble their instruments, read and perform whole notes, half notes and quarter notes on the first 5 notes they learn.

Also beginning today, the students will be asked to use their "practice picks". If they've practiced, they are asked to move their guitar pick to center of their picture that's on the wall. If they need some extra help, they move it to a different part of the wall.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Ms. Christie
