Hi everyone! Look below to find the review video for your orchestra and instrument. I provide these each week so that if you get sick or have to quarantine, you can still keep up with what we are doing. Please do not come to orchestra rehearsal if you are sick or if your cohort has been asked to quarantine! Let me know if you have any questions, thanks!
Beginning Orchestra
Beginning Orchestra’s updates are organized by instrument once again, because things are very individualized this early on. Look below to find the video for your instrument:
It was so great to see you all again! Below I have review videos for each of the orchestras. I intend to provide review material every week in case you need to miss rehearsals. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks!
Beginning Orchestra
I have split up the reviews for the Beginning Orchestra by instrument. Look below for your instrument’s review:
We are all kind of reinventing the wheel right now, having to self-isolate with COVID-19. I have been thinking about how we can continue to make progress in the Orchestra Academy. I have a couple of ideas about how we can keep students practicing and engaged.
First, I have created some online content for my students.
Here is a video showing the Beginning Orchestra what they should be practicing:
And below are links to practice videos for the other orchestras.
In addition to these practice videos, I would like to offer online private lessons to the students of the Orchestra Academy. I have been using a free service called Zoom with my private students and it has worked pretty well. I will allow each student to sign up for 2 20-minute private lessons in the next 3 weeks using the link here:
My expectation for these lessons is that the students have practiced and come to the lesson having put in some effort themselves. They should be ready to play what they can of their pieces for me and ready with any questions they may have. They definitely don’t need to be perfect—all students will be a work in progress—but I want to make sure that they have done some work at home.
My hope is that we will get to go back to rehearsing on April 20th and still have our concert in May (the concert date still hasn’t been confirmed, I am so sorry about that).
Please let me know if you need any help or if students have questions. I am here to help! Thank you all for your patience through all of this!
Hi Advanced Orchestra! This one was a ton of work, but the practice videos are done. Look below for the video of everyone together and the individual videos. Feel free to comment and let me know what would be helpful for your practice—video explanations of certain sections, etc.
