Practicing skills

Today's blog post comes from Casey in 8th grade:

To do well in band you must practice. Practicing is a key step to improving skills on your instrument. Every student should bring their instrument home each day and practice the things they are doing in class. Scales are another thing all students should practice every day. Another idea for practicing would be to try something new and challenging to help improve your sight reading skills. This practicing time should equal out to at least thirty minutes.

Not practicing causes students to lose the skills they once had. Losing instrument skills results in you not doing well during band class. The other students wouldn’t want one person messing up the rest of the band, which is why you should practice every day. Everyone should be able to find a minimum of thirty minutes to practice a day. You may not notice this now, but in the long run practicing will be worth it. What are your views on practicing?
