South Ocean Middle School Band! |
Weekly Lessons
Every Band student will usually have 1 lesson per week. Lessons will rotate each week to a different period from the previous week to keep class conflicts to a minimum. (For example, you may have your 1st lesson 3rd period. The following week, your lesson might be 6th period. The week after, you might have lessons 1st period.) Lesson calendars are available on this site under the "Lessons & Schedules" tab. |
Looking for Inspiration?
Here are 3 tips to get you going: 1. Figure out how to play your favorite song on your instrument...by ear! That's right, don't go searching for the sheet music -- use your natural talents. Try a pop song, or movie theme...maybe even a commercial jingle! 2. Click on the "More..." tab above and choose "Links & Resources" to check out some great music sites. 3. Get with your friends and play...anything! Like most things in life, music is more fun when you play with others. |
