About the 7th Grade Band at Dundee Middle School
Focus: Create good/strong practice habits. Students do not need to practice for hours a day. It is not always about practicing hard; it is about practicing smart. We will be reviewing strong practice habits. Please help encourage your student to work at his/her best level while away from school.
MUSICIANSHIP
"Try to be better than you were the day before."
Just as in life, music is about taking what is made today and improving upon it for tomorrow. This process continues indefinitely, and is the basis for all lessons and rehearsals. There is no such thing as being perfect overnight. However, striving for long-term excellence is a real and tangible goal. Each student is responsible for his/her success. Mr. Bishop serves as the coach and cheerleader along the musical journey!
