Beginners
Rhythm Rockers Challenge is live! Your student should be working towards their pass offs on their computer through MusicFirst.
Beginner parents Your students should now be able to read and perform lines from their book! Just a few weeks ago, we were making "noises," now we have transitioned to fundamental scales and REAL music. Practice time should be anywhere from 15minutes 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!
Look at the calendar and start preparing schedules for our winter concert! 12/10
