For your challenge this week, I have recorded myself playing Impulse on each of the instruments. Both orchestras will be performing this piece at the concert, so this can be good practice for everyone.
Violin:
Viola:
Cello:
Bass:
And just for fun, here is a video of all 4 at the same time!
If you get good at playing your part by itself, try playing it with the video of all 4 parts. That way you will know how it will sound with the whole orchestra.
Look below for the challenge videos for the week. Please remember to keep practicing! We will NOT be having Orchestra Academy rehearsal next Monday because it is Presidents’ Day. In the videos I reference seeing you on Monday, but I won’t actually see you until Monday, February 25th!
