Your assignment is to practice your instrument for at least 25 minutes a day throughout the school week.

You can use your method book as a warm up and to build musical skills.

Smart Music is a great tool to use to practice your concert music since you can adjust the tempo, hear your part, get feedback, and feel like you are playing with a band.

If you do not have your instrument at home, you can still listen and follow along on Smart Music and mentally practice your music.

• You do not have to submit any assignments for a grade - however, you can search any of our pieces and choose your instrument to practice. You can choose a tempo, choose to hear your part as you play, and get feedback on your performance - the feedback lets you know if you are playing the right pitches and rhythms. 
• In Smart Music the songs will be listed as graded assignments, but I will not be grading them. That was the way that I had to set it up in order to post your songs for you to find easily.
• Feel free to explore - there are thousands of pieces for you to try! The sky is the limit. There are also solo pieces for your instrument and method books available for technique and skill building. 
• If you need help, please reach out to me via email or remind.
