1.
Keep practicing the Italian Symphony, Dance of the Tumblers, and Andante
Festivo.
2.
Try the slow bow, remembering to divide your bows evenly. Remember, you have to produce even sound. I usually
start with eight beat bows and go to sixteen, twenty four and thirty two.
You have to use a metronome. Here is a link to an online
metronome. http://www.metronomeonline.com/
3. Try to read four measures of
unknown music every day. You have a huge selection of music that we
gave you at the beginning of the fall. Try
some of it and it will make your next performance on February 5 much easier.
Orchestra B will be performing at the Celebration of Black History. It is a pre-concert performance in the lobby of Hilbert Circle Theatre. Call time is 6:00 pm. The performance will begin at roughly 6:45 pm and conclude around 7:15 or 7:20 pm. Please consider staying for the Celebration of Black History Concert which begins at 7:30 pm. It is free, but tickets are required (and limited) so I recommend securing those in advance from the ISO box office. Orchestra B will not have regular rehearsal that evening. Repertoire will include the three pieces from the Invest in MYO concert last weekend and a few new, easy pieces that will be handed out next week.
Have a great week and remember to check back here next week for more practice reminders!
