Quote of the Week 9/19

"The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work." ~Emile Zola

Smart Music

Just wanting you all to know, today in class I am giving all the orchestra students a letter of information and order form for Smart Music.  Smart Music is a program we have and will use at school, purchasing it at home is COMPLETELY optional.  It is a great tool to help with practicing and students who do have the program at home will be able to complete Smart Music Quizzes and Assignments at home instead of in class with time constraints.  Please visit the Smart Music Website for more information or feel free to email/call me if you have questions.  The only other point I would like to make is to be sure to use the students' log in we already created at school, do not create another log in for the student, that will just make it harder for them to retrieve their class assignments.

Quote of the Week 9/12

Great joys make us love the world.  Great Sadnesses make us understand the world. ~Kent Nerburn

IMEA Participation

If you or your son/daughter are wishing to participate in IMEA auditions in October I really need the forms signed and returned (with the $5 audition fee,) by Monday.  I have a handful here already but would really like to have everyones soon.  My deadline to register students is next week!

Practice Cards

The first "official" practice card was due today (usually on Mondays, but due to Labor Day that was pushed back to today.)  If you did not see a practice card come home (they are green and small pieces of paper) then please ask your student where it is at!
Also there is a handful of students who have not turned in their green practice card guidelines paper as well.  Please feel free to email me if you have any questions.  Thanks!
