Have a Great Thanksgiving Break!

Have a relaxing Thanksgiving Break!

Students this is a great time to practice your holiday concert and jazz music and MEMORIZE your parade music. You must come back from break knowing notes and rhythms in all your music!

www.jwpepper.com has professional recordings of most of our pieces. Just search for the piece you want to hear. This is to be used to hear style, articulation, tone and musicality (NOT to learn music by rote).
