Fall Break!
Looking for something to do over fall break?
1. Lay down on the floor with heavy books on your stomach. When you breathe in, make the books go up. When you breathe out, let them go down SLOWLY.
2. Call a friend and play three of your favorite lines out of the method book for them over the phone.
3. Play an "F" and see how long you can hold it. Record your best time and leave a comment here.
4. Meet up with a friend and play duets from the book.
5. Download Smart Music and discover the endless amount of music to practice!
6. Most of all...enjoy the break! Have some fun! See you on Monday.

YouTube Clip of the Week
Check out this video of a guy playing "Flight of the Bumblebee" on clarinet. Notice how easy he makes it look, although I'm sure it took lots of hard work and practice. What do you think about this video?
