Hi everyone! Look below to watch the review videos for your orchestra.
Beginning Orchestra
In the Beginning Orchestra, we learned the D ladder, which is when we put our fingers down on the D string. Below I have videos for each instrument explaining in detail how to do the D ladder. This first video talks about the song we learned with the D ladder:

Intermediate Orchestra
In the Intermediate Orchestra, we made the following progress:
First Christmas March — We learned the first 4 measures of this song, and we had already learned measures 9 – 25. I asked the students to learn measures 5-8 on their own at home, so they should know the beginning to 25 by our next rehearsal.
Russian Music Box — We learned from the beginning until measure 10 this week. I asked the students to practice measures 11-19 this week.
Rustic Dance — We learned measures 5-12 this week. I asked the students to practice from the beginning until measure 21 this week.
Advanced Orchestra
In the Advanced Orchestra, we made the following progress:
Gargoyles — We learned from the beginning until measure 19 this week. I asked the students to practice until measure 37 this week.
Night Shift — We learned about shifting this week — don’t worry! If you missed it, we will review it again next week. As such, the cellos practiced measure 6 – 14, the 1st violins learned measures 14-22, and the violas learned measures 50-56. (The 2nd violins don’t shift in this song.) I would like the students to practice from the beginning until measure 30 this week.
Feel It Still — We learned from the beginning until measure 17 this week. I would like students to practice measures 17-26 this week.
