PRACTICE GUIDELINES 1. YOUR CHILD SHOULD PRACTICE A MINIMUM OF 20 MINUTES FIVE DAYS A WEEK. 2. THE MOST IMPORTANT TIME FOR YOUR CHILD TO PRACTICE IS THE EVENING OF THEIR LESSON. 3. SCHEDULE A REGULAR TIME FOR PRACTICE EACH DAY, AND HELP YOUR CHILD STICK TO IT. 4. KEEP INSTRUMENTS IN TOP MECHANICAL CONDITION. INSTRUMENTS SHOULD BE CHECKED AND CLEANED BY A PROFESSIONAL AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR. 5. FOR THE STUDENT: PRACTICE DIFFICULT SECTIONS IN SHORT SEGMENTS AND SLOWLY. CAREFULLY CHECK THE NOTES AND KEY SIGNATURES TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE BEING ACCURATELY READ. USE THE FINGERING CHART IN YOUR LESSON BOOK AS NEEDED.
This is a website which acts as a metronome (a metronome is a device which keeps the beat for students while practicing their instrument). Metronomes are sold at music stores and are a great idea to purchase. If you do not have one, please encourage your student to use this website! Mojo - Rob Grice Somewhere in My Memory - arr. Paul Lavender Bandissimo - Anne McGinty Character - Larry Clark Morpheus - Robert W. Smith Jupiter - Michael Story & Robert W. Smith Fun composition site! A student gave me the information for this website. You register for free with an e-mail, and you are able to compose your own music, listen to it, print it out, and post it for others to enjoy! Concerto for Crash Cymbals - Mike Hannickel Fun music quizzes, puzzles, and games This website has it all! Lots of different music info and plenty of fun games. Learn while having fun!
