Symphonic Band
Current Assignments/In-Class Projects
Students should be practicing their music on a regular basis. We have 8 pieces of music to be working on and two performances in the next two months!
Students can use www.musictheory.net as a resource for reviewing and/or learning note names, scales and other music theory.
Here is a website that serves as an online metronome using your computer. Try it out: www.metronomeonline.com
To access recordings of our pieces, go to drop.io and enter the password, then download the files.
