All Classes

Practice consistently to help your brain.  Practicing makes you smarter.
Doing math problems also makes you smarter.  

Use X block to organize when things are due.

Avoid sending emails unless necessary.  Always have your emails checked by your parents before you send them.
In person communication is best. 
If you are going to miss any classes check with your teachers in advance to let them know and find out what you may be missing.

​

Being on Time anywhere.
Concert Band is doing really well at being on time.  Only 5 students are usually tardy.  Remember to set a goal window of leaving the house so you can be on time wherever you go.

​

Students are given "mini lessons" at flipgrid.com

Students should practice their music to be ready for the performances. 

Students are randomly being chosen to record a flip grid, which is like a mini lesson covering about 2 measures. 

​

Regarding Recording Classes for Band Potato YouTube

Does anyone have any issue with me posting a class performance practice on Band Potato YouTube which is social media?  Call me around 5:15 pm M-F or email.

Practice Practice Practice

Students should practice at home the music they have played in class and practice the music that is coming up next. (next page or a piece of music of their choosing)

Every student should be bringing their instrument home and practicing what we are playing in class in order to improve musically and mentally.

Help your child set up a consistent practicing schedule.

Everybody should be practicing a minimum of 10-15 min/day for best success.

​

Everyone should have their books, music stand and instruments by now. Kaye's Music Scene knows exactly what books we are using.  Let him know you are from Chaminade, what grade you are in and what classes you are planning on being in.  He knows what you will need.
