BEGINNING Practice Sheets - 3rd Quarter

Practicing must truly represent what happened during the time period listed on each practice sheet.  There is no "make-up" practice (unless you can time travel!).
     
        Practice Sheet 2 – 3rd Quarter              
Due: February 3, 2014
BEGINNING Orchestra –  200 points

Note:  You will always be asked to play your songs or parts of your songs over and over. This is called “repetitions”.  You will see an X to say how many times.  For example, 5X is 5 times and 10X is 10 times.  You do not have to do these repetitions in a row.  You can play other songs and come back to do a repetition (play the song again.)
