[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a music parent and I am trying to understand this. [b]Are the Westfield honors music classes totally outside of normal school hours?[/b] Every music kid i've ever known does practice after school hours in addition to in school classes.[/quote] No. The honors orchestra/band classes at WHS (which I am familiar with) are regular music classes during normal school hours that has the additional commitment of 1.5 hours once a week after school hours for symphonic band (which combines string instruments with brass, wind, and percussion from band). Admission to the honors band/orchestra is contingent upon agreeing to participate in the symphonic rehearsals. I think the kids sign something to that effect. Practicing their instrument is of course done on their own time, in addition to that; my DD practices on average, about an hour a day, and has 2 private lessons a week. [/quote]
