Beginners should be looking at solos and ensembles in MusicFirst beginning this week. Our Solo/Ensemble Festival is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, March 8th! Also, check our band calendar for updated festival dates.
If you have not looked into private lessons, now is the time! Our staff will be working out their Spring semester schedules. Don't miss out.
We have a field trip scheduled for April 3rd - that is a half day. Our plan is to leave at 8am - go have some fun at PINSTACK in Plano - Play a concert there, then be back by 12:45 for busses. If you would like to stay with your child at PINSTACK after their performance, please start making travel arrangements now. More details to come!
Beginner parents Your students should now be able to read and perform lines from their book and full pieces of music! Just a few months ago, we were making "noises," now we have transitioned to fundamental scales and REAL music. Practice time should be anywhere from 15 minutes to 1 hour at home, daily. Please make your student's musical success a priority in your family's daily routine. Just like homework, or brushing your teeth, daily routine practice is the best way to ensure success and keep their skills moving forward. These first sounds are the foundation for many years of beautiful music making to come! We are still having a blast with our beginners!
