All students must practice to do well in band. Students enrolled in band must practice 75 minutes per week. We recommend students practice 15 minutes per day, 5 days a week. Private lessons taken outside of band rehearsals may count toward the 75 minute requirement. Students will be granted two missed practice chart “freebies” per quarter, and practice charts will not be required the week after performances. If a student does not practice the full amount, please submit the chart anyway and they will receive partial credit. Practice Chart Procedures – printable PDF

I hope that all parents will help their students establish healthy practice routines and
encourage their children to fill out the practice charts honestly and accurately. If you have any questions about the practice chart procedure, please contact me.

Practice charts can be submitted every Monday two ways: electronically or on paper.

Electronic chart submission (preferred method):
Please use the student’s name as the subject of the email. Please type the student’s name, grade level, and the minutes the child practiced during the week into the body of an email and submit the chart. Please email charts to Mr. Pelt at: pelt@timothychristian.com every Monday.

Paper chart submission:
Paper charts can be obtained from the boxes outside the band room at school. There is a separate box outside the band room where completed charts may be turned in. If you print the charts at home, please cut into separate charts (there are 4 on every page), or submit one page of four at the end of the month. Students should write how many minutes they practice each day on the chart. A parent must sign the chart each week to verify accuracy. Practice Chart – printable PDF
