Lessons for 8/5-8/9

Updated 8/6 9:40pm

I hope everyone has had a great weekend! Lessons and camp were great this past week, and I'm excited to get started with another great week! I got a lot of good feedback about being at KMS during the band camp so I'll do that again this week. I'm also going to be at KHS two full days to help with crowding. My perfect plan would be to have all my KMS/BCI students meet on Tuesday so I can have as many ISMS/SKI and KHS students as possible the other days while I'm at KHS. I'll do my best to accommodate all requests so don't freak out if you're not a KMS'er and need a Tuesday lesson! All I ask of everyone is to send me your three preferred time slots so I can do my scheduling magic.

For my KHS students, I didn't get a chance to see most of you last week. I'll do whatever I can to get you this week. I've cleared it with Mr. Chapple to pull you out of sectionals in the morning so we can get some work in.

Lastly, all incoming 7th and 8th graders SHOULD have the All-Region Audition music. If you do not, please let me know so I can send you the three pieces. This is important to me every year but not for what you think...I don't care how awesome you get these pieces to sound! All I care about is you learning the music because it is a great vehicle to challenge you to improve your skills. The benefit of getting better is earning the right to play better parts in band, and that's what it's all about, right? This year's music is very accessible for even 7th graders to play, and if it looks challenging, don't worry! We have plenty of time to learn how to read, count and eventually play this new music.

Thanks as always for allowing me to continue to teach your children every week; I hope they've noticed marked improvement and enjoyment this summer!
