Band & Orchestra Notebook Requirements

All students in the instrumental music program at Nansemond River are required to maintain  a notebook.  The notebook should be a 1″, 3-ring binder with at least 10 document protectors to start.  It is important for students to keep track of the material issued in music classes.  Senior musicians will be required to submit a portfolio before graduation.  If you maintain all of the material that you will recieve as my student you will be prepared to complete your 9 weeks test assigmnent.  As a personal bonus, you will be prepared for college life if you choose to attend college and continue the study of music.
