Dear Band Parents, I am pleased to welcome you and your child to the Elementary Band Program. The first weeks of learning anything new can sometimes be frustrating. With your help, I know that our band program will afford your child a successful music experience. Small amounts of concentrated practice are better than longer periods of unfocused practice time. If you can provide a quiet place at the same time every day where your child will be uninterrupted, he/she will develop correct practice habits that will last a lifetime. A straight chair, a music stand and adequate lighting will all help to insure success. The book I have selected for lessons, "Accent On Achievement" Book One, contains many familiar folk songs that you will easily recognize. You do not need a background in music to know if your child is playing correctly. Your interest and praise are very important factors in guaranteeing your child's enjoyment of music and success in playing their instrument. Please feel free to call any time you have questions or concerns regarding the beginning band program. Musically Yours, Mrs. Jean Hopka Thank You! ***************************************************** We have read and understand the contents of the School Band Handbook. ***************************************************** |
