Scale Challenge
The Scale Challenge has begun! For every 2 Major Scales you memorize, you win a prize! The more you learn, the better the prize.
Looking for Inspiration?
Here are 5 tips to get you going:
1. Take Private Lessons from a Professional. Learn tips and tricks for playing your instrument at a higher level. Contact the Sachem Music Department at (631) 471-1798 for more information.
2. Go to a concert. There is nothing like hearing music LIVE to get you motivated to practice!
3. Figure out how to play your favorite song on your instrument...by ear! That's right, don't go searching for the sheet music -- use your natural talents. Try a pop song, or movie theme...maybe even a commercial jingle!
4. Click on the "More..." tab above and choose "Links & Resources" to check out some great music sites and apps.
5. Get with your friends and play...anything! Like most things in life, music is more fun when you play with others.
