Hi everyone!

Sorry for the late review post this week—it took me a while to get all of the Beginning videos done. Look below for your orchestra’s review and practice assignments:

This week we started with our scale of the day and rhythm of the day, which we will do every week. This week you are supposed to practice the following things:

First Christmas March—Beginning to measure 41

Keep in mind that all of these are the MINIMUM that you should practice—please feel free to keep working on these pieces past these measures!
