CTW Band/Orchestra/Percussion Announcements

​

Practice:
Everyone should be practicing at home.  I gave everyone a code to SmartMusic to use to play many, many, many different types of music to help them play better.

​

Having parent help in the band room gives me more time so I can respond to everyones needs.  I am often working on putting music in student binders.  There are 200 lockers.  I want to make sure students have parts to practice at home.

I try to update this CTW once a week.   If it is not updated, I am working to keep up with student needs.

​

​​​Instrument Brands to buy are Yamaha: number 1 for every instrument - student model
Always get insurance.
Other Brands to buy For Brass (Trumpet, Trombone, Tuba, Horn = Bach, Getzen, Jupiter, Selmer, Holton, Conn, King)

​

 

To percussionists:

You should have a bell kit with practice pad, drum sticks, mallets, and stick bag.  Please take a picture of your set up at home with your instrument and music stand so that we can ensure that you have everything that you need.

​

To all classes:

​If you are renting a school instrument (i.e. tuba, horn), you can pay for the rental online at the Chaminade bands website.  If you prefer to write a check, please make the check payable to Chaminade Middle School and deposit that into the blue box by the front door and then notify Ms. Snyder that you have done so.

 

Please have your child bring in his/her checklist to class.

 

Please be sure to set up a practice schedule at home.  Your child may use Smart Music (he/she was given a code to access this tool) and the band videos on the Chaminade bands website to practice at home.
