SCRIPS

SCRIPS is another fundraiser that doesn't cost a penny, and can put lots of money in your student's account. Businesses pay a percentage of gift cards to your student's music fund with the purchase of their gift cards. The percent of donation varies.

 Scrips orders will be sent in on a regular schedule of the 1st and 15th of each month; we’ll increase the frequency as needed during the holiday “gift card” spree.  Click Here for the form to email to me, or print out for hand-written orders.   Click Here for the shopwithscrip.com website for the list of merchants and percentages.

Payments enclosed in a sealed envelope can be dropped off in Tammy Ahmed’s box or contact me (Cheryl Joseffy)

at cj57etal@yahoo. com to arrange for delivery or pick-up.

 

Please include in the envelope:

· Your name (as person ordering)

· A phone number where I can reach you

· Check or checks made out to BCHSIMP

What to Look For in a Private Teacher



A good high school private teacher should be work with your child on the following concepts:
  • All 12 Major scales - and when more advanced - all forms of minor scales
  • Chromatic scales
  • Etudes specific to the instrument (not just working on music from band or orchestra)
  • Ensemble pieces (they should play duets with their students)
  • Sight reading
  • Alternate fingerings/concepts - which would allow students to perform music smoothly
  • Music theory
  • Embouchure work and range training exercises
