A classroom snowball fight is a novel experience to have with your students before the holiday break. You can practice many skills during a snowball fight to reinforce and review previously learned content. And honestly, it’s just a fun way to spend a few minutes during class.Â

How I’m Getting Band Kids to Practice Scales
Every year you tell your students how important scales are and every year they still don't practice them. In my experience students don't practice their scales until its time for an important audition and then they cram their scales and the audition music in and learn them all in a panic. Once the students get up to high school it becomes obvious that they're on B-Flat Default mode because they always play the notes of the B-Flat concert scale (even in G Major, yikes!)
