Congratulations on your selection to EMF Band!
As an EMF Band member, you are responsible for learning your part before our first rehearsal.
Here are some tips to help you reach that goal:
1. Below are recordings of our pieces. Please listen to these pieces frequently before our first rehearsal.
2. Consult and practice the study guides you received for each piece. They will help you prepare specific notes and rhythms you will encounter.
3. Practice your part slowly and carefully, paying attention to the key signature and counting the rhythms correctly.
4. Mark your music (using pencil only!) with any fingering or counting reminders.
5. Go to Extra Help lessons with your band teacher to be sure you are prepared before our first rehearsal.
6. After learning your part, play along with the recordings to hear how your part fits in with the whole band.
