Ponderosa

After 2 busy weeks of band trip and preparing and performing at the legendary Reno Jazz Festival, i finally got a chance to see if the students have improved. When i first arrived at Ponderosa, I went straight to the room and gave a lesson to the two kids that struggled last time. I helped them with their timing. But when i did this, all of their focus went to timing instead of hitting the right notes. So, i made them play simple rhythms with certain notes. After a few tries they got the hang of it and we then started to play songs out of the book, which they seemed to improve on due to the exercises we did earlier.
