Letter from Ms. Mary (4/27)
Hey Philharmonia West,
We have one more rehearsal before Spring Festival. Thank you for your focus and hard work this week. How fun it was to spend a little time composing and improvising a new piece. The biggest thing that I heard during our time with our composer was that your sight-reading skills have improved so much this year! I know that Ms. Koller had a great time with us, being able to hear what the measures were that created.
Before next week, I would ask that each section work on these specific measures:
- Violin 1
- March of the Meistersingers, letter D to E. Play this a minimum of 6 times.
- Violin 2
- An African-American Air, measures 20-32. Play this a minimum of 6 times.
- Viola
- March of the Meistersingers, letter E to the end. Play this a minimum of 6 times.
- Cello
- March of the Meistersingers, beginning to letter B. Play this a minimum of 6 times.
Can you all spend a few extra minutes each day playing Jupiter?
Question of the week: What is your call-time for Spring Festival?
Parents: If you missed the audition information meeting at the end of rehearsal last week, you can view the information I shared here.
Weather permitting, we will play Jupiter outside next week. Let’s hope for sunny weather.
Have a great week. Work hard, play hard.
Mary Sorlie
