Hello everyone. We had a great week. The 6th grade learned 5 pitches, quarter notes, posture, breathing, tonguing, and classroom procedure. The JH sightread a couple tunes really well and sound great. The jazz band is going to be solid. The HS band is rockin'. Keep practicing and we will be awesome.
Practice tip for the day.
Repeat 4 times then rest.
Dr. Andrew Spencer (percussion teacher at CMU) taught me this technique. Loop a difficult passage 4 times and then stop. Take a measure or two rest. Repeat. This allows the body time to reboot and focus on what it needs to do. You should hear and feel quick improvement this way.
Practice on Breckenridge!!! Have a great weekend.
