NEWS & EVENT INFORMATION

School Closure - Band Update

4/20/2020

 
Band Parents,

I certainly miss making music with our students each day in the band room.  I hope this email finds all of you healthy in these very unusual times.  It has been a learning curve figuring out how to teach music virtually but I applaud our students for diving right in.  Daily I am reminded just how resourceful and creative they are when I am listening to videos or on a zoom call.  Please read carefully for some important updates regarding the band

Assignment Expectations
Students can expect one to two video assignments a week.  Assignments are all listed in the "Classwork" tab of Google Classroom.  Students should expect 9 grades this quarter.  As long as the students are making efforts to do their best in their video and attaching it in google classroom, they will receive an A.  Any missing assignments will be marked as an F (missing). When a late assignment is received they will receive their full credit for it.  No need to email me to tell me why something will be late or to ask for extensions.  ​

CMS Band adapts to online learning via Zoom!
I am encouraging students to TALK TO ME at the end of their videos - give some self-reflection, ask questions, tell me what's going on, etc.  So much of teaching music is that interaction part, so I encourage it! 

It does take me a lot of time to listen to 200+ videos a week and give quality feedback.  I have 6 classes and I try to focus on a class a day, so it may take me a week to cycle back to your child's class and enter grades.  

​
Please be patient!
