Music Notes

The final 9 weeks!  Where has the time gone?

For parents of 4^th, 5^th, 6^th , 7^th or 8^th graders; you should still be hearing instruments being practiced.  The 4^th graders are expected to practice 30 minutes a week on their recorders; the 5^th-8^th graders are to be practicing 60 minutes a week on their instrument.  Please remember that beginning band meets on Mondays and Tuesdays from 4:15-4:45.  This rehearsal is open to any band students, it counts as 6^th-8^th graders practice times if they choose to come!
