This is a very fun and interactive website for band students. It provides a great way to learn musical terms, note names, and fingerings. We will use this in class from time to time.

I strongly encourage all of my students to utilize a metronome while they are practicing. It will help students to develop internal pulse and evenness in their playing. For students who do not own a metronome, here is a great website that provides one for free!
