Letter from Mrs. Hebert (1/12)

Sinfonia West,

Good work in sectionals! Your main practice goals this week are to work on the areas you did with your sectional coach.

This is a friendly reminder that you should be practicing your GTCYS music for (at least) 10 minutes a day. Without your individual work at home, we won’t be able to make progress as a group.

STRINGS– You each circled different sections in your music that you need to work on. Practice those SLOWLY and then work on getting them up to speed.

BRASS– You spent a lot of time on Symphony No 8. Please continue to work on those same areas (writing in fingering if needed), but then spend a lot of time working on James Bond. We can’t do this piece without you.

WOODWINDS- Please work on tuning and learning your individual parts. It sounds like you worked especially hard for the coach, so thank you!

Here are the recordings again.

Please spend some time listening and practicing with each piece!

Symphony No. 8
James Bond
Echoes of Valor

See you at retreat!

Mrs. Hebert
