A few reminders from the Chi Hi band room:
  • Instrument storage cubbies are for your instrument and music only. Music should be in a folder or a binder.

Q2 Lesson Project is HALF DONE!

12/5/2016

 
The Quarter 2 Lesson Project is now at the half-way point. With 4 weeks (plus the 2 bonus days) behind us we have 4 weeks that remain.

You can get a sense of class participation from the following graphs. Click on the image for a closer look at the data.

A number of students have succesfully completed the entire project already. Admittedly, I'm not quite sure what the rest of you are waiting for. Remember that you can only schedule one lesson per week to count towards the Quarter 2 Lesson Project.

At the end of the semester we will be moving on to - you guessed it - the Quarter 3 Ensemble Project. If you haven't completed the Quarter 2 Lesson Project, you will be responsible for completing the work in Quarter 3 while also picking up new tasks.
