The Beginning Band students are now keeping track of their practicing in journals that are taped to the front cover of their lesson books. Our goal is to try to practice 4 or 5 days each week, for 10 -15 minutes each time. The band students are required to add up all of their minutes each week and ask their parents to sign the journal on the evening before their lesson. We review the practice journal each week in lessons.
Students who meet the goal of practicing 40 -50 minutes each week receive a check mark.
Students who exceed the goal of 40 – 50 minutes of practicing each week receive a check PLUS mark.
– Students who do not meet the goal of 40 – 50 minutes of practicing each week receive a check MINUS mark.
