What should I do if I lose the practice chart?

You can pick up an extra chart any day from my room, or I will accept ANY 
piece of paper, note paper, index card, or postit as long as it has ALL of 
the required information (dates, minutes, parent's signature and student's 
name).

My instrument LOOKS broken........

Bring it to me RIGHT AWAY (even if it's not your regular lesson day!). It 
just might need an adjustment. If it needs to be repaired, I will tell you 
exactly what to tell the rental shop.

When do rehearsals start?

I will send home permission slips. Grade 4 will rehearse on Tuesday 
mornings, 
grade 6 will rehearse on Wednesday mornings, and grade 5 will rehearse on 
Friday mornings. All students need to report at 8:15am for the 8:30am 
rehearsal.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Extra help is NOT an excused absence! Your teacher will have extra help on 
days OTHER than rehearsal days!!!

I never took an instrument. How can I help my child at home?

Encourage your child to practice the same time every day. Ask your child to 
teach YOU how to play their instrument! It's never too late to learn!
