Be sure to ask your child all about the exciting times they've been having in music class so far....they are eager and excited to share!!! Be sure to ask your child all about the exciting times they've been having in music class so far....they are eager and excited to share!!! Band Karate also begins and students are encouraged to keep working hard for those belts!! I hope that we will all be well on our way to becoming Band Karate Black Belts by June! To celebrate our students' success, we've added a new practice incentive to the Instrumental Lessons Program. Besides the "Battle of the Bands," students are encouraged to complete their weekly practice sheet and practice every day with the "Building Blocks of Success" program. You can learn more about this exciting new practice incentive HERE. Remember, minutes spent practicing are the building blocks of success :) **This Year: All students in the Fourth Grade are invited to become members of the Amagansett School Beginning Instrumental Program and, this year, once again, 100% of the students have chosen to play an instrument!! Beginning Band Class meets every week on THURSDAY and students have their Instrumental Lessons with Mrs. Kamp once a week on THURSDAY. Parents, please help your young musician to be prepared for each lesson and for band class by bringing their instrument, music binder, and signed completed practice sheet with them to school on THURSDAY each week.

The Breathing GymI recently learned about this resource from some high school band director friends of mine. The exercises are AMAZING and we've been trying a few out each week during band class.
Watch the clip above or search "Breathing Gym" if you'd like to breathe along at home with us! |
Battle of the BandsThe Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Grades are competing in a "Battle of the Bands" as a fun way to build responsibility and effort int he Instrumental Music Program. Each week, students can earn or lose points for their class by completing different tasks.

SMART GoalsWe are becoming better learners by establishing goals for ourselves in Instrumental Music this year. Each month, students should complete this goal sheet and bring it to Mrs. Kamp so that we can continue guiding our own learning.
