Weekly Practice Expectations include:
Practicing at least 5 days a week
First year students are expected to practice for 5 or more minutes each of these days (set-up time does not count)

Effective practice means fully focusing on playing your instrument. Keep distractions away!
Additional practice opportunities may be given over the course of the year
You do not need to have these exact supplies, but these are recommended by the teachers based off of quality products at a reasonable price. While there may be cheaper options available, these cheap products such as reeds often make the instrument more difficult for students to succeed. If you have a question about a certain product please let us know.
REEDS: We recommend Rico size 2 or 2.5 reeds for all elementary band students. It is suggested for students to get a box of 10 for each school year.
CLEANING SUPPLIES: Proper instrument cleaning helps the longevity of the instrument, and even makes your instrument easier to play! Here are some suggested cleaning kits and supplies.
