While the fifth graders are off hunting water buffalo or whatever they are doing, the fourth graders met this morning and got some good work done. We made it most of the way through page 7, and talked about some concepts that they will need for page 8, including quarter notes, quarter rests, breath marks, and two new notes: concert E-flat and F. (Eb and F for flute and percussion, F and G for clarinet and trumpet, C and D for alto sax) We will be working on Page 8, next week.
Grade 5 families: Please pass this information on to the students as they return. If they are having any difficulty with it, we would be happy to answer any questions, but at the very least, we will get them caught up at band next Wednesday, no problem.
Thank you for continuing to encourage their regular practice. Everyone is progressing and it will only get more gratifying each week! They are a terrific little team, and really support each other.
All the best,
Joe Wright and Catherine Hofius
