Our school terms run for 10 weeks, and we aim for 8 quality lessons per term, more if we can manage it. Despite efforts to work around special events, some weeks students may miss lessons. This week, seniors missed lessons due to the Leadership Camp. Senior musicians, adept at self-improvement, are encouraged to compensate with extra practice.
For our juniors, a gap is now evident between practicing and non-practicing musicians. Brain science advises practicing within 24-48 hours post-lesson for optimal learning. Short daily practice sessions are more effective than weekly long ones. Lack of practise is noticeable, and needs to happen if not already, as outlined in the parental contract. Please encourage a minimum of twice-weekly practice but ideally daily.
Our juniors will have their first band session in week 11! All our our instrumental groups will come together to play. We can’t wait!
