Blended Learning/Snow Days
#1. Practice your Instrument!
- Warm Up (buzz list for brass, finger olympics for flutes, LONG TONES for everyone on Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol).
- Practice your assigned circled songs. Practice each one 4 times. Feel free to play along with a background track. Search "Accent on Achievement Practice Recordings" on YouTube.
- The BEST way to practice....practice with another friend who's in BAND!
#2. Search on YouTube for professional musicians who play your instrument.
There are some awesome videos out there. Here's a ** LIST ** I already put together.
#3. Find free music for your instrument online.
A lot of times you can find songs that are popular on the radio that are online. You may need to learn a new note or two in order to play them - in which case, look up the fingering chart of your instrument in the back of the book (2nd to the last page).
#4. Want to get some songs crossed off? Send me a video of you playing one of your assignments!
I will watch/listen/evaluate and email you back if you can cross off the song. It's a great way to get ahead of everyone else! Please submit the recording to our Google Classroom (although any "cloud" will work - one drive, dropbox, etc.).
