Hello Gang,
Good to have everyone there this morning. My adventures on I-495 held me up a bit, and it was a real help to have the kids getting set up and ready so we could get right at it when I rolled in.
We continue to grow on our instruments, and perhaps most notably this week as a band. We are starting to learn how to play together. This happens much faster when we spend time at home learning to be more confident on the instruments. Thanks for continuing to encourage this!
In all candor, it is my hope that a bigger percentage of the wonderful positive energy in the room every week can be channeled into playing, and that chatter gets a little less in the way of our progress. We will have time for that sort of fun as we pack up our instruments and straighten up the room. We'll see how it goes next week. We had a good chat about it at the end this morning.
They move on to Page 9 this week, and get more practice with their now five notes, and rhythms incorporating whole, half, and quarter notes and rests.
Thanks again for your support. Don't forget to have a look at my blogs. The first will always have these e-mails posted in it for your future reference!
All the best,
Joe Wright
Bancroft Band
