BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT IS TUESDAY, AUGUST 28 FROM 7:00-9:00 PM. PARENTS & STUDENTS, PLEASE COME!
Practice Tip of the Week: Difficult part got you stumped? Practice many repetitions of small "chunks." My favorite small "chunk" is one measure. Practice a hard measure 5-10 times. Then practice the next measure 5-10 times. Practice both measures together and enjoy how much better they sound!
