Just updating

Hey everyone!

Starting with tomorrow's band practice, i'm going to ask for the sections to assist in the writing of this blog!!! i really want to get some posts up that summarize section practices so that people who *ahem* don't go to practice, can come here and read what they missed. i also have a little project that I feel like launching this Christmas Holiday that could be great for publicity *if only I thought of it sooner...*

and of course feel free to make suggestions by commenting or even emailing the blog at Music{dot}Thomson{at}gmail[dot} com. of course remembering to de-spam the email and get those suggestions flowing in

Protip: don't be afraid of writing the letter names on the photocopies or to ask your section leader, or someone smart such as Ben and... Ben, to help you with rhythm and fingering. I would also suggest that if you play a valved / slide instrument, to REFRAIN from writing in fingering / positions. Although it may seem easier, it makes the learning process really slow. writing out letters though harder parts of the music force you to learn how to coordinate fingerings with letters, and the letters to their position on the staff without having to count "1 every 2 good 3 boy 4 deserves" everytime you need to play a D

And just to let you guys know, I'll try to make the Protips more frequent and smaller than my actual post
