Some of our after-school classes will be significantly reduced in schedule, so students are expected to complete work and practice at home. Please review the schedule below for more details. Following this schedule in February, rehearsals return to normal schedule. ## Schedule of After-School Band Classes for the rest of January 2025 | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | ***Monday, January 20, 2025***<br>Woodshedders Cancelled<br>Students expected to practice at home | **Tuesday, January 21, 2025**<br>St. Cecilia String Orchestra<br>Jr. High Only, Srs.

Nonetheless, you can go to the [Events Page](https://ndcfinearts.ca?events) to find all our currently known details. --- ## Online Tool to Help with At-Home Practice - TARDIS I have now shown to all students the new online tool for practicing their pieces or their solos at home. Students can access the online "TARDIS" at [https://music.ndcfinearts.ca?TARDIS](https://music.ndcfinearts.ca?TARDIS). There they can find a professional recording of our pieces, and can play along with it at home. Additionally they can record themselves to see how they "mesh" with the professionals! This will also be where students can upload their scale and solo assignments. --- ### Thank you as always for your support of music at Notre Dame Collegiate!
