Hi Intermediate Orchestra!
Below is a challenge for you to try out before our first rehearsal on Monday. I am so excited to see you all again!
Hi Beginning Orchestra!
If you are feeling pretty good about the notes on the D string, try playing the songs on page 15. Below are videos of me playing all of the songs on page 15 on each instrument. We will work on this on Monday!
Hi Intermediate Orchestra!
I hope you have all been practicing over the break, but if not, review the songs on page 19 to re-familiarize yourself. If you can play both parts of “Fork and Spoon,” you should be ready! Below are videos of me playing Fork and Spoon on each instrument. See you next Monday!
Hi everyone!
Below you will find videos about our weekly challenge for our new beginners–the D ladder. We did learn this on Monday, but it will definitely need a lot of practice. I also included videos of what the D ladder is on each instrument so that students can review that. Also try to learn what the D ladder (D, E, F#, and G) look like in the staff for your instrument (found on page 14 of your book) Let me know if you have any questions!
Hi everyone!
Our Beginner Bootcamp went wonderfully yesterday! Check out this video of us playing our FIRST SONG. Already!
Below are some review videos, talking about what we learned, and showing how to hold the instruments, bows, and what the open strings are on each instrument. Check them out!

Watch the video below to learn how to rosin your bow. If you can get that done before our first rehearsal on Monday, we will save a lot of time. Let me know if you have any questions!
Hi everyone! Below are our final challenge videos for the semester:
Try to learn Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 on p. 22 of your book. If you want to be in the Intermediate Orchestra next semester, send me a video of you playing it by the end of the year! Don’t worry if it isn’t perfect–just send me the best you can do in this amount of time. Have a great break, everyone!
