Although I make every attempt to make an appointment with you and re-teach to you what you missed in your lesson, it is not always possible.  ON this page you will find ways to make up your lesson if I am not available to re-teach it to you.  In the future this can include anything from completing online rhythm and melody exercises, recording yourself doing the assigned exercises, doing listening exercises and watching videos.  Please check the assignment page as well to see what you missed during that lesson.

We are back on our jazz book - learing how to improvise!  We'll be working on this in band a bit too.  The key to being able to improvise is listening to jazz music.  In addition to playing some exercises for me you will need to do some listening and then writing on what you heard.

We are trying to improve your technique and your reading skills in other keys and time signatures - we are jumping forward in your book and you will have some exercises to play for me if you miss this lesson.
