Please take a moment to remind your child to go to our Google Classroom site tonight.\u00a0 They can post videos of their practice sessions to improve their grades.\u00a0 All students should have a Cadet Pin by the end of this card marking period.\u00a0 They can pass the songs by posting videos in the Cadet pin assignment area of our google classroom.<\/p>\n

A reminder that daily practice is so important in developing the fine muscle skill set necessary for success on a musical instrument.\u00a0 This is very ‘do-able’ if children break it down into small sets:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Practice daily for 5 minutes sets 2 or 3 times a day<\/li>\n
  2. Practice daily for 10 minute sets once or twice a day<\/li>\n
  3. Build up to practicing 20-30 minutes each day<\/li>\n
  4. Be a Master and practice for 30+ minutes more than once each day<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    For Band students a great resource is the Basic Band<\/a> website with some great training videos students can watch and play along with.\u00a0 For violin students there are many resources posted in our Google Classroom site to help them with bow hold and playing with proper posture.\u00a0 Violin students also have resources made available to them through Essential Elements Interactiv<\/a>e.<\/p>\n

    One last important step for great progress is consistent encouragement from the family.\u00a0 Encourage and remind your child to develop the habit of daily practice will ensure greater success.\u00a0 Ask your child to perform for you and the family.\u00a0 Have them perform a mini concert for guests.\u00a0 This will help build their confidence when they see that you are also pleased with the progress they are making.<\/p>\n

    Let’s encourage our young musicians to be the best they can be!<\/p>\n
