Almost at the finish line! Here is what's taking place this week.
Guitar:
Monday and Tuesday we are going to begin learning finger-picking using the Johnny Cash song, Hurt. In addition there will be excerpts from the textbook to prepare for your quiz this week. Wednesday ideally will be used as your review day, with the quiz being on Thursday. Friday, you will have the opportunity to once again work on your own material - it could be anything: Notes, Chords, Tabs, whatever you may like as long as you are playing.
Band:
We will rehearse this week on Thursday from 2:40 - 4:00. Please be prompt. We have to share this time with the choir so be ready to go by 2:40. Looking ahead, we will rehearse next Monday from 2:40-5, and next Wednesday from 2:40 - 5. The concert is next Thursday May 10th, call will be 5:15. We will perform the second half of the program. Great work so far this semester, and looking forward to an exceptional concert.
Have a great week.

Week of April 2
Hi Folks:
Here is the schedule for the next week or so. Have a safe and happy spring break!
Band:
No Rehearsal Wednesday - Continue to practice your music. We cannot afford to have to go back and fix mistakes once we return following break. Take care of individual preparation, and we can make music together in rehearsal rather than fixing notes. Keep up the great work, and come concert time, it will pay off.
Guitar:
M: Quiz on Eleanor Rigby - begin learning pop song(s)
Tu: Work on Pop Songs incorporating use of strum pattern learned last week
Weds: Quiz on Pop Song of your choice - You can supply - or - use one of mine
Have a great break!
