![]() Hi everyone! It was cold and the roads were slippery, but we had great rehearsals this Monday. Next week I am hoping we can learn through measure 56. We then played from the beginning through measure 40. Lastly, we played Gauntlet and learned measures 25-32. I’m hoping we can get to measure 51 soon. We then read In the Hall of the Mountain King up to measure 27. Next week I am hoping to get up to measure 54. ![]() We then moved on to Conquistador and learned measures 21-32, then reviewed the whole song up to measure 32. Students, especially 1st and 2nd violins, really need to practice this. In the Advanced Orchestra, we started with the Brandenburg and tried to play through the first 16 measures. We didn’t have time to practice Dragon Slayer this week, but students should still practice it at home. Students should practice through measure 20 this week. Then we only had time to quickly review First Finger Pachelbel. Students should try to learn at least through measure 16 this week. We then learned the first 8 measures of Impulse. I’m hoping to play up to measure 20 when we see each other again. Again, if you need to write in the notes in between the scales in this song, feel free to do so at home. In the First Scale March, we quickly went over the music from the beginning until measure 20. Practice the music on page 21 this week if you haven’t already. In the Intermediate Orchestra, we started by reviewing the songs in our Essential Elements book on page 20. But if you want the extra help, write them in at home so that when we meet together we can play our music. Ideally, you would be able to learn to read music and not write in the notes. ![]() I don’t want to waste valuable rehearsal time waiting for people to write in notes. IMPORTANT: If you are one of those people that feels like you need to write in the name of every note in order to play a song, you need to do that in your music AT HOME. This week, practice the music on pages 6 and 7 (you may use your bow!) that use the D string notes. Explanations of how to do this on each instrument are below. In the Beginning Orchestra, we reviewed the bow hold and the open strings, and then learned how to put left fingers down to play E, F#, and G on the D string. Look below to find out what we did last Monday and what you should practice this coming week. Our next rehearsal will be Monday, February 24th. Hi everyone! First off, let me remind you all that we will NOT have rehearsal this coming Monday, February 17th due to President’s Day.
