Band students are expected to practice their instrument for at least 20 minutes a day, 5 days each week. A practice chart will be sent home and must be signed (not initialed) weekly by the parent of each student, regardless of how much practice time the student marked down. They are considered late if they are not turned in by the Friday of the week they are due.
Practice Tip – A key element to the success of every student is the support of their parents. Very rarely will a child practice without being told. To the student, practicing becomes a chore, but it is part of a cycle – practice makes you better, which leads to having more fun when playing. It is that fun that makes them enjoy playing. With the proper support and guidance from parents, you will see the benefit of good practice habits.
PLEASE NOTE - These charts will count towards 40% of each
band members' grade for each quarter.
