How can my child join band?
All students who are in 5th grade are invited to join band. Mrs. Wyatt will bring sign up forms to each classroom on the first day of school. These forms need to be completed and returned to home room teachers by Friday, Sept. 5. Students who started lessons this summer don’t need to do anything – they will automatically be included on the lesson schedule
How can we obtain an instrument? Mrs. Wyatt will have information on renting instruments from stores. There are also some instruments available from the school district if you are not able to rent from a store. We want everyone to be in band so please let Mrs. Wyatt know if you need assistance.
When do lessons start? Group lessons start the week of September 14, 2015. Each band student will be scheduled for a 30 minute lesson during the school day on either Tuesday or Thursday. Your child will have a band lesson on this day all year. Mrs. Wyatt will send home the lesson schedule on Friday, September 5.
When do before school band rehearsals start? Full band rehearsals with all the instruments will begin on Tuesday, September 29, 2015 in the Northview gym. Students should to arrive every Tuesday between 7:00 and 7:20. Students still have group lessons during the school day.
What should my child practice for the first lesson? All students should start every home practice and lesson with the warm up page which is stapled onto the inside of the front cover of their lesson book. They should then practice the exercises that have a single slash through the number. A song that has an X across the number has been passed.
