6th Grade Band

Hello and welcome to our rehearsal for 6th grade!

We only have 40 minutes, so it is very important to get her as quickly as you can at the beginning of the period so we can play as long as possible. Please sign in quickly and find your seat in your section.

Our Learning Targets:

(Drums)  I can play a single stroke, double stroke, and five stroke roll. I can play flams and flam taps

Wind and bells: I can play a concert Bb major scale and Eb major with arpeggio

I can play Don't Stop Believin' at a 2 on our 4 point rating scale (we are starting our student selected piece today!!)

I can Freedom of Finale at a 3 or a 4 on our music rating scale.

I can play Eye of the Tiger at a 3 or a 4 on our music performance rating scale.

Here is our plan:

1) I will greet you at the door and hand out copies of Don't Stop Believin' while you walk in! I am so excited to start our student selected piece!

2) Brief review of PACK norms.

3) Please find materials extra materials for the rehearsal lined up on top of the cabinet. If you forgot your music you will find extra copies there.

4) Warm Ups! - Scales and rudiments

5) Brief Review: The Pyramid of Sound! What is balance and how do we get a good one!

6) After warming up we will focus on Don't Stop Believin'. This is really exciting for low brass and for drummers! Everyone gets to play set now!

7) We will close with "Freedom Finale!" Essential question: Can we apply the pyramid of sound to our performance of Freedom Finale? If so, how? Did we do a good job?

8) Practicing assignments!

I look forward to seeing you for PLC!
