Homework/Practice

There are things you can do as a parent that will greatly enhance your child`s
experience and growth in music.

                   1. Get involved with the Band parent organization.

                   2. setup a practice place and time that is away from
                      other family members and won`t disturb them.

                   3. Purchase a metronome ( beat keeper ) and a small tuner.

                   4. If your child plays Flute, clarinet,
                      Trumpet, trombone,or saxophone it is better for them to
                      own their own instrument.

                   5. Using Smart Music software will make practicing much 
                      more
                      comprehensible for your child and he/she will learn MUCH
                      faster.(see Mr. Cote for details and pricing)

                   6. Please understand that only students who maintain good
                      grades and practice will make it into the band and
                      once in must maintain all grades and practicing or they
                      can be pulled out until grades and performance levels 
                      are satisfactory.
