All students are required to practice their instruments and repertoire on a daily basis. BAND REHEARSAL IS NOT THE TIME FOR STUDENTS TO PRACTICE THEIR PARTS. They are to have the repertoire practiced prior to band so that rehearsals can run as smoothly and as efficiently as possible. We only have get so many rehearsals over the course of a school year and we need to make the most out of every second we get.
INSTRUMENTS MUST BE TAKEN HOME TO PRACTICE ON. Students need to practice band music as well as any technical exercises in the method book.
"Much like any worthwhile venture, practicing a musical instrument has its ups and downs. Kids need to be reminded to practice, of course — but they should not be constantly pushed, and they should not be completely left alone. It’s a balancing act where sometimes the parents will need to give their child a break for a few days and other times will need to bribe them to practice. Either way, all children are capable of thriving with a musical education, and students will indeed thank their parents for not letting them quit."
