This being the last week before winter break I want to wish you all very happy and safe holiday. For those students in Band or Strings practicing an instrument over the break can be challenging, especially if you break involves traveling. I'm advising students not to take their instruments on road trips, but if they are staying home over the time spent practicing will be well worth it. Many students are just figuring out how to play their instruments. Daily practice is the best way to keep the momentum. Even just 10 minutes a day can make a big difference. I've tried to provide instruction, music, and theory drill on my website. Visit it a couple of time over break to stay connected and motivated. Again, have a wonderful break and we'll see you in the new year. You can get to my website at: http://1314.posterous.com
