4th & 5th Grade Band

Please contact your instrument rental company directly to request a repair and a loaner instrument or to return instruments.

Please contact Mrs. Marchesani if your 5th grader is thinking of switching instruments.  Private lessons outside of school or over the summer may be  necessary to be ready for 6th grade Band with the new instrument. 

On early release days,
small group lesson instruction will be held
 

Materials list to bring to large ensemble and small group Band classes:
 Bell covers (wind instruments)   
music masks optional this year
Instrument & cleaning supplies
Band folder with handouts

a pencil
and
a smile :)

Home Practice component:  
Band students are expected to practice their instrument 60 minutes per week
 to ensure success (10 minutes x 6 days; 15 minutes x 4 days for example) 

Here are some tips: 
  *Make sure you have a comfortable practice area.
*Reward yourself for sticking to your practice schedule.
*Write down your practice minutes on your practice log page.

*Invite friends/family/dog or other tolerant pet to mini-performances!
*Play music with your Band friends.
*Play music you like and know well as warm ups.
*Remember to clean your instrument!

Have fun!
