   Hi there!
      Unfortunately, the arrangements are hiding amongst the stockpiles o' stuff in my room, but I believe that they go down ( in some of the songs ) to a low a flat.  However, the songs are in four part harmony, with 2 euphonium parts, and 2 tuba parts, so as long as you were to play the upper parts, you would be all set!!!!!!!
      Oh, sorry......the W/B is just a basic letter writing thing meaning 
write back!!!!!!!!!!!There is also the W/B/S which is write back soon.
      Well, it was nice hearing (reading?) from you.  Let me know if you are interested in the book.....
                                    Andy

In answer to your question about the saxophone.  You would definitely find it east to learn because many of the fingerings are the same as the flute.  That is why most jazz sax players are the ones to dou ble on the flute.  They are fairly expensive but there are many rent or rent to own programs through music stores. St John's in Saskatoon, will have information on that.
 
Good luck!!!!  Glad to see another PA person on this network!

Lisa if you are playing the flute I would stick to it.  If you want to change instruments try and make it one that you use the same blowing teqnique (like the picalo).  I was told from my band teacher that going from instrument to instrument like you have suggested is hard to "train" the persons mouth in two different ways for two different instruments.  If you are planning to give up the flute, then there is no problem. 
    You might try instruments that do not require mouthpieces (like the keyboard, violin, etc) so that you can remain on the flute.

Hope that helped...

By the way I play the flute (along with other instruments) too!!!!

Hello, Shellye.  Thanks for your reply.  I noticed from your next message that you are a music teacher of elementary music and band.
I do the same thing.  I am now teaching in a K - 9 school.  I have K - 4 general music, grade 4 - 9 band, and a grade 7&8 general music class, as well as a few choirs.
 
What about you?  Is your school K - 6?  i am curious as to what grade your school system starts students in band.  I am originally from Manitoba, where most school start band in grade 7.  So i found it to be quite an adjustment starting in grade 4.  I find there are advantages and disadvantages.  With grade 4s I find it very difficult to retain low brass players.  What are your thoughts on the starting age.
 
Thanks so much for the information about the exchange, I haven't had much luck with getting info, so I've started asking many people.  Now I finally have a contact name. Thanks!!
 
By the way, I don't follow hockey at all, but I'm pretty sure that the Prince Albert Raiders play against a hockey team from Spokane.
 
Bye for now.

Hey, Lisa!!!!
                I'm a music major at Central Connecticut State University, and
this past semester I took sax lessons.......I loved it.  I'm continuing to improve on my playing, even though I have done all that is necessary for me as a music major.  As far as the cost, all you have to do is rent one.  Music shops, as well as manufacturers, have good deals on this sorta thing!

                                                        Andy

P.S. Good luck at honkin'!       :)

That is a great goal.  I think I remember you from the TUBA convention

Mr. Morrison and I are good friends.  In fact you might start writing
him E-mail via this echo, because he just bought a computer and a modem.
I helped him set it up.  He would be thrilled to get mail.

If you aren't doing anything Sunday, February 14th, I am giving a

Well, I'm glad you had fun.  Tuba Christmas is a blast.  I had to miss
it this year because of another playing engagement.

Could you tell me more about yourself?  I play tuba in the USMA Band at
West Point.  I just bought a new Calison Daryl Smith 4/4.  Have you ever
played one of these tubas?  Also, are you a member of TUBA?

It is nice to see tuba chatter again on this echo.  BTW the US Army Band
is holding its annual tuba convention in Washington DC the last weekend
of January.  It's a hoot!

Happy tubing

Hello all,
  I am attempting to obtain as much information or opinions as possible
regarding peoples thoughts on the value of MAGNET schools. Schools that
offer either highly specialized courses or courses which are for one
reason or another, such as limited enrollment at a single school but
high enrollment at a centralized district site, valuable in that context
for providing and filling an overall need within a school district.
  I have run a random in district survey of opinions and I would like
to contrast that with opinions of educators around the country. This
particular MAGNET school services the needs of eleven high schools and
provides courses for not only college bound students but also vocational
and technical training courses. As examples, everything from computer
related courses (data-entry training through business to advanced place-
ment), building trades (general construction through cabinet making),
word-processing (court reporting through advanced word-processing tech-
niques), advanced classical and modern languages (Latin to Hebrew to
Japanese to Spanish to Russian, etc.),  pre-med, A.P. calculus/fortran,
A.P. physics, A.P. chemistry, aviation science, astronomy, an LPN course
which has a high school student qualified for their Licensed Practical
Nursing Certificate upon H.S. graduation, nursing assistant and homebound
aide program, etc.
  This is an important topic for us as we would like to make the program
even better and we need input from all sources to do so. 
  Unfortunately we need to present this Friday; January 15 so any opinions
you could send my way would be appreciated and forwarded on to the appro-
priate people as soon as they are received. If you could EMail to me at
me address below it would help to save a great deal of time but I will
also followup on the conferences.
			Thank you very much for your help in advance,

Martha, I have printed your request and will forward it by school mail to
several of my colleagues.  The responses will take awhile since they are not
using email, but maybe this will spur some of them to start.  Anyway, perhaps
within two weeks or so, I will have something for you.  As for me, I don't
have a plan in place in my school--it's left up to the individual teacher.
When I was in the classroom, I always appointed one or two reliable students
to show the new student around and teach him/her the routine; I made sure the
PE teacher and Librarian got a formal introduction.  Otherwise, I simply
supervised the child's adjustment until I felt (by observation) that he/she
was comfortable.  My colleagues are in the K-6 group, but I have a few
contacts in the 7-12 arena that I will ask also.  Hope you can use this
information when I get it back to you.  Ellen Rust.  ruste@ctrvax.vanderbilt.

 In answer to your questions, I am the Program Consultant responsible for  curriculum development in Construction Technologies and Electronics. As  part of the Career and Technology Studies team, we are reviewing/
 200+ courses in the practical arts (business education, home ecomonics,  vocational education and industrial arts) for Alberta Schools.  Our  mandate is to provide opportunities for students to study the areas for  three possible reasons; personal use (hobby/home repairs), career  investigation and career preparation (direct work place entry,  apprenticeship articulation, post secondary education or training).  Some  of the programs (Enterprise and Innovation) have been implemented last  september, most w




ill start in Sept. 94 with remainder by sept 96.          As I get into the curriculum development further in Electronics I share  some drafts with you for reactions/recommendations.  Please pass on your  mailing address so I can send you some materials.                          Thanks for the input, Alan.

Thanks for the ideas Jerry.  Your observations are consistent with what  is happening in ALberta.  We only have a few programs in Electronics left  in our schools.  One of the important factors for sucess in this area  also seems to relate to 1.  the teacher, and 2. the incorperation of a  design brief/problem solving approacwo very successful programs that we  have have students learning/performing at a very high level, tutoring  each other, analysing their own problems (student directed vs teacher  direc




ted activities).
     When I get further into what to do in the electronics area, I will  pass on more information.  
 Thanks for the info, Jerry.  Regards, Paul
