Second, listen to the recording and specifically pull out your part for Balance, Blend, Tone, Dynamics, Articulation, Phrasing .... etc.
Write anything to help you improve into your music or practice log. THEN PRACTICE!!!!
Third, listen to the recording but this time pull different instruments from the texture to analyze.

Notes from your Director...
April 28, 2018 - Happy Spring Break!
Please make sure to email me your playing test for "On An American Spiritual" by April 2, 2018. All you need to do is select 16 measures of your choice, record it, and send it to my email at kreed@durangoschools.org
Best of luck! K. Reed
Please make sure that you are checking your grades every week as we are preparing for State Contest. It is very important that you are positively contributing to the success of the band by practicing and pulling your own wait.
Also, if you would like to make up any of your playing tests please schedule with Mrs. Reed before/after school or at lunch. - THANKS! K. Reed
