Looks like we will be learning at home for a while! I am really going to miss the incredible progress we have been making in class. The most important thing is to keep practicing at home. Without that, we will lose our awesome progress. A few things to know:
Here is a video I made about tuning you might need! CLICK HERE 1. If you forgot your instrument, contact me and we will see what we can arrange with the Principal. You may need to wait and sing through your parts. 2. I have put recordings of all of our pieces in this page under recordings. Listen to at least one of our pieces each day. 3. Please play for at least 30-40 minutes every school day. We need to replace our class time with practice on your own. You can also see if friends in class want to Zoom a practice session! Be creative. Turn in a practice chart every Wednesday. 30-40 min for 5 days a week is plenty. 4. I will scan all music and you can download and print it as needed. Just let me know if you need anything. 5. Practice should include 5-10 minutes of scale work with long bows and you can include staccato, slur, accents or rhythm patterns. 6. I will post videos you should watch and comment on, starting after Spring Break, if needed. I will send you some that can help you at home via email. Google Play- Music Tutor app If you need to reinforce note reading, the app above is a pretty fun one to practice with! PLEASE make sure to play every school day! This is vital to our success as a group when we return. I can not stress that enough!! If you forgot your instrument, come and get it on Wednesday!! If you need help getting it contact me via email. Comment below with any questions, or email me. I will be checking email every day. Check this web page daily for updates. I am going to miss you all! I hope to see you very soon! Mrs. Misco
