THE BIG APPLE
This year's spring trip will be a ONCE IN A LIFETIME, ALL INCLUSIVE trip to New York on March 8-12. We hope to take as many students as possible. There will be a trip meeting immediately following the parent meeting on August 28th. We will need to secure airfare and hotel rates ASAP. Be sure to fill out the trip agreement and pay the deposit in order to reserve a spot in this incredible journey. The first payment will be due on August 29th in order to secure a spot. Don't miss out on this amazing opportunity!
Steps to Successful Practicing
- Take your instrument home!
- Identify ahead of time what you want to accomplish. Is there a certain measure of 2 that need correction? Need to work on straight bow, good tone or vibrato?
- Schedule a block of time, even if it's only 10 minutes. Set a timer.
- Focus on what you planned to accomplish. Don't get side-tracked playing a different section or straight through the piece.
- Record yourself and listen. Mark the items you hear that you still want to improve.
- Encourage and allow someone to hold you accountable for this. A parent/guardian, sibling, friend etc.
