Hi everyone! Look below to find the review for your orchestra.
Beginning Orchestra
- On a Swing — We reviewed this one at the beginning of our rehearsal. Our biggest problem is people not realizing when the rests are — make sure that you know what to play, but also that you know when NOT to play!
- Royal Promenade — We reviewed this piece and then quickly learned the end. Please try to practice the whole thing at home and we will review it next week.
- The Salamander Samba — We didn’t get to it this week, but it was so perfect last week that I wasn’t worried!
Intermediate Orchestra
- The Abandoned Funhouse — You all sound great on this! We played it without a hitch.
- Guldfaxe — I can tell how much you all practiced! Thank you so much!! I think we are going to pull it off. Don’t forget that we are making a cut from measure 27 to measure 43.
- Icicles — This is also sounding great — we worked on keeping a steady tempo even without me talking, and also bringing out the melody.
Advanced Orchestra
- Turbulence — We played it through and then worked on the transitions a bit, since sometimes they can be rough! We also worked on doing some dramatic dynamics.
- Appalachian Sunrise — This is sounding great! We worked on the 1st violins being quieter while the others have the melody and we worked on perfecting the ending.
- Bones — This one is going really well, but sometimes we struggle with the transitions so we practiced those a lot. We should have a drummer next week!
