MusicTheory.net is an excellent resource for students to reference and brush up on musical concepts. There are charts, lessons, and even learning and practice modules that just about any age can benefit from. In addition, one of the practice modules is for ear training, where students can listen to intervals and practice for the quizzes we do in choir at the MHS.
Weekly Practice Charts
|
|
5-8 band students are required to complete practice charts on a weekly basis, detailing the amount of time practice and what excerpts they worked on throughout the week. These must be signed by a parent. While I always have a supply on hand, I've posted them here since things get lost and forgotten!

Kidder Music is located in Peoria and is the music/instrument supply story that works with the school. Whether you're ordering reeds, music, books, cleaning supplies, or in need of repair, place a call to Kidder or go online and say that you are from Cuba MHS and whatever you order can be brought right to the school with their representative that comes by every week. They will come by and pick up instruments and drop them off right at the school, give estimates on repair, and are very good about working with you to figure out what needs to be done and how to do it!
