Quizzes/Tests
You will have three per quarter (weeks 3, 6, and 9)

Rituals & Routines
3 Claps
When I clap three times, you clap back three times and are silent
Hopefully I don’t have to do it more than once!
Quiet and Silence
Quiet is using a hushed voice
Chatting with a neighbor is appropriate during a quiet period, such as individual or group work
Silence is making NO sound
Chatting is not appropriate during a silent period, such as during a quiz or listening to music

The Bravo Board
Students who demonstrate great effort, character, enthusiasm, and respect will get a star to place on the Bravo Board outside the Music room
Strive for a “Bravo” each and every class!

Band & Orchestra
At the end of last year, you indicated which instrument you would like to play (or chose not to play one)
I am sending home an informational packet today
Let’s make sure you know the information before you bring it home to your family
Band & Orchestra
You have the choice to participate in band or orchestra after school
Band instruments: flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, saxophone, trumpet, French horn, trombone, baritone, tuba, percussion
Orchestra instruments: violin, viola, cello, bass
If you choose to play an instrument, you must supply it yourself—Paideia Academy does not have any for you to borrow
If your family has a concern about paying for an instrument, have them talk to me—I’ll keep it confidential and help in any way I can!
Band & Orchestra
Band and orchestra will take place after school on Thursday afternoons from 4:00 to 5:00
We will alternate band weeks and orchestra weeks
In addition to after school ensemble (full group) rehearsal, you will have the opportunity to take group lessons during Monday Advisory
Band & Orchestra
We will participate in both Upper Academy music concerts
Winter Concert: December 11th
Spring Concert: June 4th
You will be expected to practice 1 hour each week
This is not difficult—I promise!
Just practice for 20 minutes three times a week
Band & Orchestra
Playing an instrument is difficult
If you get frustrated, you are probably not alone
It’s okay to struggle—you will get it eventually!
If you are not having fun, I encourage you to keep trying
If your family decides you don’t want to continue (and this is an okay decision!), please wait until the end of a semester
You’d be surprised at what you’ll accomplish!
What’s Your Name?
First, let’s move our chairs into a drum circle
For now, just make sure that we all face the center
We will have a seating chart next week
I will say and play “What’s Your Name?”
One student will respond with their name, in a two-beat rhythm
We then repeat it as a class
What’s Your Name?
For example:
Me: “What’s your name?”
Timmy: “Timmy Johnson!”
Us: “What’s your name? Timmy Johnson!”
It’s always me, student, class, class
Let’s try it together!
