Complete each virtual lesson in order. Click and watch each video, practice, and complete the corresponding assignments. New students enrolled in Intro to Band should complete the Symphonic Band virtual lessons. Returning students enrolled in Concert Band, Jazz Band, Wind Ensemble, or Band Honors should complete the Advanced Band virtual lessons. Students enrolled in other schools should complete the virtual lessons best suited for their skill level (Symphonic Band for beginning students and Advanced Band for advanced students).
Students enrolled in multiple band classes on Unified Classroom only need to complete assignments for ONE virtual course which will count toward both classes.
Be sure to read the goals section below so you know when each lesson and assignment is due. However, if you really want to grow as a musician, don't wait for the due dates. Move on to the next lesson and assignment as soon as you're ready!
