Class, August 16, 2010

Today August 16, 2010, we had a band class, the homework of the scales. So the first thing we did was review the homework, all of us, went to the board and did one problem and explained to the class why it was that way, and why we had added the flats or sharps to make the formula match the scale. We did that for about three quarters of the class, then Mr. Tomassi told us to get our instruments and we played for the rest of the class. We are now playing a new book called Essential Techniques, which for now has been about the same level as the end of our last book. But flipping through the book, I saw that things got harder. But with a lot of practice and effort it shouldnt be that hard. For Homework we had to open up this blog, and write the entries for the classes, also that we had to correct the scales that we had wrong, and to do the Gb scale.
