Beginner band student lesson sign-up

Beginner band students that are not in Level 1 Band should check the list of available lesson times on my homeroom door. Please sign up for at least one lesson per week so that we can get you started on your instrument. I will show you how to assemble and disassemble your instrument, we will go over proper hand position, embouchure (your lips, teeth, and the muscles in your mouth that you use to play your instrument... which will apply to everyone except percussion), and some basic music reading skills.

If you play clarinet, please note that there are 4 beginner clarinettists who are not in Level 1 Band this year. Please try to sign up for the same times as each other if at all possible so that we can learn all at the same time instead of teaching 4 separate identical lessons at 4 different times.

If you wish to sign up for more than one time slot per week you are certainly welcome. Some of the time slots are at 8am before school, some are during school times (so you would be pulled out of your class for your lesson - this is entirely your choice and you do not need to select one of these times if you think you will have a hard time catching up in the class you missed), some lesson times are at lunch, and others are after school.

If you can sign up sooner vs. later it is easier for me to schedule. Thanks! :o)
