REFINING our MUSIC

Our performance repertoire for June 11 is established, and with two weeks to go, we are in good position now to refine and PERFECT our music.

Each  student now has the happy and most rewarding task of all:

                     practicing with a clear purpose : that is,
                                       to learn all notes and rhythms well,
                                       to play beautifully in tune,
                                       to be sure about all bowings.
Once you have done this on each program piece, you will THEN be able to                               listen to the music around you

and make a strong contribution to the sound of the whole group .

Next week we will perform the ensembles in Level 2 Class Time , since there is not enough time for this in the 30 min. joint rehearsal time. We may be adding one more item -a duet by Ryan and Steve-( the new #11)

REMINDER:
Level 2 Students have private lessons this week- see you Thursday!   

Level 1- you are doing well! Keep working for comfort and for the fun  of playing a concert for your friends and family!

They are going to LOVE it!
