Lake Dallas Middle School Practice Record
Lake Dallas Middle School Practice Record
Honor, Symphonic Band I, and Symphonic Band II
In an effort to consistently improve each student’s abilities and the overall success of our band program, we require that all LDMS Band students practice outside of band rehearsals. The required amount of minutes per week is 180. This practice time does not include outside lessons, section practice, or performances. Students may count a 30 minute private lesson as 15 minutes of practice time. They will be required to keep record of practice time on the chart below and turn it in every Monday. Students must also spread the practice time over at least 3 practice sessions. In other words, it is not beneficial to try to squeeze all practice time in at the last minute. Consistency is the key! Practice records most be signed by the parent for the student to receive credit!
Practice Hints—Always make it a goal to improve at SOMETHING when you practice!
1. Start by warming up playing long steady tones-brass players buzz for 3-5 minutes.
2. Review an exercise utilizing half notes and quarter notes emphasizing proper breathing, good air support, and musicality.
3. Practice scales using metronome at slow tempos then gradually increase tempo.
4. Practice newly learned material in class—Always take new material slowly and work correct fingerings, keeping the tempo even, and making sure that it sounds really good before you speed up. If a difficult section is written to be slurred, take the slur out first and tongue the notes to perfection…then put the slur back in.
5. End by playing something fun or asking someone to listen to you play. Get comfortable being a performer!
6. EXTRA HINT – Research your instrument. Read about it online, find online recordings of different musical styles being played by your instrument. Do not limit yourself to only what you hear in band!
