Be sure to be working on
your intervals/ chords EVERY
DAY! It’s important. Even if
you think you know it all
already, we can all stand for
a little improvement.
Remember that you can also
go online to FVA.net and
practice exercises from
previous All-State years. I
would highly encourage you
to do so!
