BAND HANDBOOK

The FJMS 2007-2008 Handbook is now online and viewable in Adobe Acrobat format. If you need Adobe Acrobat Reader you may download it by clicking here.

PREFERRED INSTRUMENT LIST

A good-quality instrument is important! I offer my preferred Instrument List as a guide to those instruments that are of excellent quality and lasting value. You won't be disappointed if you stick to the list. These instruments can be rented or purchased through a local music dealership. Click the preferred instrument list link above to view the schools preferred list.

SMARTMUSIC SUBSCRIPTION

Mr. Jones recommends the SmartMusic version 10.0 system for at-home practicing. SmartMusic is an award-winning, computer-based interactive practice system that makes practicing fun! It has over 30,000 titles to choose from, a built-in tuner and metronome (you won't need to purchase these separately if you subscribe to SmartMusic), and recording and assessment of practices. 

School sponsored home subscriptions are available for $25 with an additional $15 for the microphone that allows recording and assessment. With shipping & handling, the total should be about $38.95. Click for instructions for ordering SmartMusic.

LOCAL MUSIC STORE

A list of Local Music Stores for your convenience. Before you head to one of the area music stores, it's a good idea to give a call first to see if they have what you need. If not, they can order it for you, and you will have just saved yourself the unnecessary trip. Most orders arrive in a very reasonable amount of time -- usually in just a few days. Click the Local Music Store link above for more information and a list of the stores.
