Reply To: Forgotten instruments – Beg. band

[nafmeadmin]

A former colleague told me that he had his students put their instruments by their shoes the night before. That way, if they forgot their shoes they would know it the moment they got outside and walked on the gravel, dirt, etc. This would remind them to get their shoes AND their instrument.

I have told my students that, if they don’t have their instrument they better not have their shoes, either.

And, yes, there are grade consequences for forgotten instruments. I do like what I have read regarding pencil practice and make-up papers.
