Band Members Only
Below you will find supplemental information to make you the best Patriot Band member you can be. There are practice exercises, scale sheets, fingering quizzes, sight-reading examples, and more. If you can't find something you are looking for, please send me a message and I can get it to you asap.
Grand Master Scale Sheets
Students will be asked to produce each of the scales, from memory by the end of the year. Quality time will be spent learning these in rehearsal and during lessons, but students will need to practice these outside of school as well.

Rhythm Workouts
Rhythm is the foundation of music performance. Time has been reserved in each lesson and rehearsal to improving students rhythm recognition. Students will be assessed on their reading and recognition quarterly. These packets are a great way for the band to progress together. Thank you Jeff Waggoner!

Lesson Schedule |
|
The Bp Band Handbook provides all information every band member needs. This includes grading rubrics, band policies and procedures, as well as course descriptions. All band members need to sign and return a copy of the handbook for a grade during quarter 1.
|
The lesson schedule has been set for the year. Please check in periodically as lesson times and groupings will change. Have something extremely important going on in class? Don't worry! Lessons can be made up within one week during lunch, after school or with a pre-signed advisory pass.

Sight Reading Factory
This is one of the biggest supplemental resources that we will use in the classroom. The website www.sightreadingfactory.com has aligned unlimited sight-reading examples with the New York State School Music Associations solo festival levels. Students can use this resource to prepare for NYSSMA solofest, improve their personal sight-reading, as well as practice and play games alongside friends. The best part is, you can take it anywhere with you! Students can create a free account, or register for an unlimited account and unlock all of the sites benefits.
