Product Overview
Performance level of the ensemble. From as little as five minutes a day to forty-five minutes a day, this book offers the flexibility and options to fit any particular band situation for year two throughout high school. It also provides the director with the resources to meet each student on his or her own level while challenging them to reach the next level. “Thirty-nine percent of the reason beginning instrumental music students succeed or fail can be attributed to adult home help.” Unleash the power of adult-guided home practice with Home Helper: First Lessons at School and at Home. Studies indicate that during the first eight weeks of instructions, adults at home - even musically inexperienced adults - can play a critical role in helping to establish correct performance habits and efficient and purposeful home practice. The value of the Home Helper is that it gives adults and their students the photos, checklists, and performance models necessary to get started on the right track. Intended for use during the critical beginning weeks, this Home Helper - combined with school instruction, daily home practice, and one or two sessions per week of adult home help - will launch a lifetime of musical enjoyment and success.
