As we begin the year, here are a few items you’ll need. First, please purchase the 5-Minute Drill Book before the year begins. You’ll also need one additional matching pair of mallets to start four-mallet marimba playing. We’ll also be using marching sticks to introduce marching percussion and prepare for high school marching band, along with an upgrade to concert sticks to help get ready for region auditions. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns. You can contact me via email at mjaso@ems-isd.net.

They'll be readier than ever when it's time to get into the music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe accompanying online audio selections contain nearly 100 entertaining audio tracks at a variety of tempos that will motivate students to listen and play along with as they practice at home or play in the classroom. The practice pad play-along tracks are custom-tailored to fit the technique being addressed, and the major scale keyboard tracks are presented in 3 fun, tempo-based styles—disco, samba, and DJ FMD!
