Student information:
You need to practice 15 minutes every night....which is about 4 commercial breaks!
If you have to miss a day just practice 30 minutes one night to make up for it. Consistent
(every day/every other day) practice is the only way to get better! Use it or loose it!
Your practice sheet is a BIG PART of your grade! Practice for 15 minutes a day AND get a parent/guardian
signature EVERY week.
