Updated Feb 4, 2010 Woodlin's concert is rescheduled for Wednesday Feb 10. My fingers are crossed for concert-permitting weather next week! New Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday schedules are now posted under "Daily Class Schedules." The schedule for Wednesday is in the works. Students will continue to attend lessons on the same day.
Revised date at Woodlin: Feb 10, 2:00 and 7:00 pm, Woodlin Gym. Evening Concert: Students are to arrive by 6:40 pm. All students are expected to participate, beginners and advanced! Uniform: White shirt, dark pants or skirt (black, dark blue, brown). This outfit is to be worn for both the daytime and evening concerts.
About Practicing: All students have received "Home Practice Calendars." These are charts on blue card stock (thicker paper). Students are required to record minutes practiced daily and get a parent/guardian signature before the next lesson. The practice goal is 5 days a week, 15 minutes a day for a total of 75 minutes. More is better. Home Practice Calendars are kept in students' music folders. It is better to practice smaller amounts over many days than a lot in one or two days only. Suggestion: Some students do well keeping an eye on the clock. Some do not. All do better playing each assigned line 3 times, more if necessary. It’s best to repeat until the line feels easy. If the line is too hard, slow it down. Repetition is most important at this stage. Truthfully, at all stages! All students should bring their instrument, folder (with Practice Calendar) and book to each lesson.
