Band and Orchestra
“We love music here at Aurora Hills, and welcome the 320 students currently enrolled in our band and orchestra classes! Please feel free to contact me with any questions and suggestions you may have by email or voicemail. I will return your emails and calls as soon as possible.Our Band and Orchestra Handbook contains detailed information about our program, concerts, volunteer opportunites, etc, and will be given to students in the first days of school. It’s also viewable here in Adobe Reader Also, please look for updated and ongoing information in my EMAILS to you (sign up using the Handbook Signature Page) and in school newsletters!Thank you for your support of music at AHills!
Please continue to encourage students to practice their instruments daily at home. There is nothing like consistent daily practice at home to help a student succeed and enjoy making music! Practice cards are due every tow weeks and require a minimum of 300 minutes over the two weeks. It’s much better to practice 20-30 minutes each day for muscle and mouth memory, rather than “cramming” into a few days each week. Remember, you only have to practice on the days that your breathe!
December concerts have been scheduled! Please refer to the school calendar and the music website for details. We can’t wait to play for you.
I welcome your comments and suggestions, please feel free to contact me anytime.
