Letter from Mr. Larson (1/13)

Sinfonia East Students and Families,

This week’s rehearsal was a lot of fun. It is amazing to see so much growth on the new music in just one week! We worked on complicated rhythms, dynamic contrasts, finding the melody, and we got to have treats. Many thanks to the families who donated to the event, the students always enjoy treat nights!

At Sunday’s retreat we will continue working on the pieces we have played at the last two rehearsals AND we will also explore some of It’s About Time. 

For your GTCYS 10 this week:

• Bratislava and Havana
  • Articulations: staccato versus tenuto
• It’s About Time
  • Listen and explore all three “times”

Mr. Larson
