Practice Your Note Names

Click on the Music Flash cards at the top of the page. Make sure to choose the correct clef for your instrument or treble clef for voice. Staff Wars is fun game that helps with note names in any clef!

 

Clean your instrument!

Regular cleaning and maintenance is essential to keeping your instrument in proper working order. It is recommended to have your instrument inspected and serviced by a repair technician during a break in school so you do not miss any rehearsal time. The inspection may not result in any work being needed. However, just like an automobile it is recommended that a repair technician perform a tune-up as necessary to keep your instrument in proper working order.

All instruments should be cleaned on a routine basis - about once a month. See these videos for help.
