Mr. Kemp’s
Orchestra Tips

By now we know how to play whole songs. The key to
success will still be to practice every day. If you haven't
read the words below, take time to read them. Then
ask yourself if you REALLY are part of our orchestra!

Practice, Practice, Practice!

A baseball player practices baseball.
A soccer player practices soccer.
A basketball player practices basketball.
A dancer practices dance..............................(you get the idea!)

I understand 4th graders are very busy people. They are baseball
players
, soccer players, basketball, football, dance, Karate, and
much more. PLUS, they are students, they have friends, they have
families.

Are you also a Violin or Viola or Cello or Bass player???

If you are a Violin Player, you practice the Violin every day.
If you are not practicing every day, you are not really a Violin Player.
Of course the same goes for Viola, Cello, Bass, and all of the band
players, too.

STRIVE for practicing every day. (That means try very hard.)
If you miss once in a while, it's OK! Mr. Kemp knows you are
very busy people.
