Fifth Grade Orchestra Practice Guide

UPDATED NOVEMBER 2, 2011

Practice 10 minutes a day. Set aside a regular time and place to practice.

Practice the measures that are hard for you first.

Practice does not mean playing a line or song over and over again. Fix the mistakes by practicing slowly. Practice small measures or sections.

This guide can be used at least until January.
