We will have another virtual class next Tuesday as a group.  I will have the invite for you by the end of the week.

Make sure you are completing the assignments in canvas.  If you have any questions please ask!

You all rock! I miss all of you! I miss band class! We will get through this.  Keep doing great things! Stay busy and as always if you need anything let me know!

We will be attempting virtual class today

From your I pad type Cisco Webex then Download and join.

Hopefully I will be seeing you all later!

In the meantime. Happy Practicing!!

Continue to Check Canvas and complete assignments daily.

Students will still need to record themselves practicing 30 min a day. If this is not possible keep your practice log and submit via email.

New music will be handed out to students who sign up for lessons

Continue to look at the website and Canvas

Sign up for music lessons on your instrument by emailing Mr. GIbson by Sunday.

Band Class

Thank you for everyone’s patience as we transition to virtual e-learning.  I wanted to make you aware of what we will be attempting moving forward with band class.

• All students will still keep a practice log of practicing 30 minutes daily and submit via email. 

• Students can record themselves practicing over I-movie or any other recording app and send in if possible. 

• There is a smart music free subscription for students to continue to practice online.  This is a great tool for students to learn new music and review concepts. Lots of new music if you have google chrome available.  The district is working on restoring google chrome to the I-pad. 

• We will be trying out webex.  This is for face to face music lessons as a class/ group.  We will be transitioning to this next week.  Anyone who is interested in getting virtual lessons will need to email me by Sunday. After you have let me know if you want help I will set up a time during a part of your class time.  

• New music will be sent digitally throughout the week only to those students who sign up for music lessons online. 

• Keep up with canvas and the band website for new information. 

Thank you, students and parents, in advanced for being patient as we will have some trial and error as to how to incorporate the best approach into performing via conference calls. 

Thank you for all your help and support as we continue to go to the virtual music classroom. If you have any questions please email.  Have a great day!

Smart Music Platform /Information 3-19-20

Students will be able to use smart music to continue with their music education.  Please be patient with setting up accounts.  This is a free service that will be provided for students that are out of school due to the current situation.

I will be posting how to join this service throughout the day.

Also, starting next week we are going to pilot having virtual classes.  I will be giving out instructions about this over the weekend.  Basically we will meet in a virtual classroom and I will provide 1 on1 instruction for your instrument.  A lot of patience will be required as we get this started.


Please continue to practice for 30 min. a day and send a recording via email to nicholas.gibson@clover.k12.sc.us If you are having difficulty sending a video please send in a practice log daily.

It is imperative that everyone is still working on their musical skills everyday.  If you have any questions email would be the best way to get ahold of me.

Happy practicing!

- Mr. Gibson

if you can't email assignments make sure you keep a practice log and have your parents sign off every day you practiced.

If you need to get your instrument please do so.

The school will be open tomorrow from certain hours to pick up instrument and materials.  Please make sure you have your instrument and you are practicing.

Please make sure you are practicing 30 minutes daily.

Students will need to pick up their instrument at CMS in order to practice.

All students will need to practice a minimum of 30 minutes a day while school is out.

Students should be practicing 30 minutes a day.  Please submit a recording or video to email.

Parents,

As you are probably aware all schools in SC have been cancelled for the next couple of weeks. Our school district has also cancelled all trips out of state until further notice. I will be in contact with the travel company Kaleidoscope Adventures about refund procedures. We will not be rescheduling this trip. I should find out more information from the travel company this week. As soon as more information is provided I will be passing along the information to you.

I am sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.  Our student safety is our highest priority. Again, once I have more information you will be notified immediately.  

Thank you for all that you do for our band students.
