Hope everyone is staying nice and dry!
The “Blue Book” (experienced) band (7:30-8:10) worked on the Bb Concert scale (top two lines of page 42 in the red book) and they are expected to perfect that over the next week, as well as find something they love to play, and be prepared to share that with the group next Wednesday.
The “Red Book” (beginning) band (8:10-8:50) played as a full band today! We performed Exercise 1: “Time for Band” on page 6. We discussed the clef, time signature, whole rests, and whole notes, (quarter notes and rests for percussion). They are expected to work on all of page 6 for next week. If that goes easily, it’s fine if they want to have a look at page 7. I told them that they should read each page carefully every time they practice, an in particular the concepts featured in the gold boxes on each page.
I realize that with the rain and the holiday last week that there were challenges in getting the whole group here this morning. I hope we get everyone next week so we can all move forward together.
