I can use help with the Newport City Area Volunteer Band this week! I'm especially short on drummers. The music's not too tough, and we always have a fun performance! Post by NCUHS Band.

The new Music Appreciation class has textbooks on the way. They're the 6th edition of Roger Kamien's book MUSIC: AN APPRECIATION. Makes sense, huh? I got a cd set with them, and it's a really good book. The class isn't going to be easy. Listening, reading & writing every week. I don't believe in strict memorization of facts. Students will have to actually be thinking and participating.
I've picked most of the pieces for next year's concerts, although that can change if necessary. I started studying scores, but need to take a break from that while I learn the pieces I'm conducting next week with the Newport City Volunteer Band. Physically, the band room is progressing also. They've put in a new door, although the door doesn't go anywhere yet. They've removed the stairs and door to the other room, also, and a closet exists there now. Pictures will follow when I get a chance. Why doesn't my Twitter feed work over on the right!? |
