First Quarter assignments - Beginner Band classes (periods 3 and 4, not per 1. Per 1 has separate page). SCROLL TO BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE FOR RECORDINGS.
If able, at home, please first load on a device or laptop the KJOS.com version of your book by following the instructions on the back of your book. This is so you can hear and perform along with each assignment at home.
Parents - Your child should be working a minimum of 20 minute sessions at home, 4 times per week. If more days per week, even better. They should always do at home what we did in class that day in the same order we did it in class.
Work the following to be graded in class. Also, to improve endurance, work on timing long tones like we did in class.
You will be graded on the following numbers in your book during pass-off time:
5
9
15
19
22
25
33A
40
53
Chromatic chart, 1-13
Make a goal of finishing all that are listed above in case Mr. C adds more as the quarter progresses.
By week 4 of school - If your child is not approaching number 22 by this week, they are behind and in danger of receiving zeros in the grade book. Please encourage them to work to complete towards 22/25 by the end of this week.
Due dates are on Focus, but students should make a goal of completing a minimum of one assignment per week in class.
