Middle school band classes integrate technology to help students become proficient players. Students fill out a practice form at the end of each week to log which days and for how long they practice. The practice log helps them track their habits to learn more about how quickly they are progressing. In addition to regular practice, students can make appointments for private lessons or extra help using the Lesson Calendar. Currently lessons are just during recess, but as the “beginner training camp” classes with 5th grade end and students are more comfortable with their instruments, after school lessons will also be available. The band teacher provides the students their first copy of the music for class, but after that they must access the google drive folder with all of their band music and print their own. This is also a resource for advanced students to use for more challenging or extra music to practice. All of these resources help motivate and engage students to improve their instrumental skills.
