February 12 -
We're working on accompaniment parts to be performed with soloists. The music may look easier than usual, but it needs to be very tight in order to provide the most support possible for the soloist. Take rehearsal time seriously as you are providing support for one of your friends - the soloist. Practice the music at home, even if it looks easy. Be certain of each and every note that you will be playing when you come to rehearsal. Practice the notes (and intonation, etc) at home and then the group can work on putting it all together at orchestra rehearsal.
Tip of the day!
Bring a pencil, or two, to every rehearsal. Keep one in your folder and one in your case so that you have one at all times and make sure it gets unpacked when you get your instrument out.
So far, you should have the following music in your folder:
~ Allegro, Corelli
~ Witches Dance, Paganini
~ Allegro Appassionato, Saint-Saens
You will still receive Happy Farmer and Scherzo in the upcoming weeks.
