Letter from Tamara (9/24)
Thanks to all for their hard work during rehearsal. I was particularly impressed with the level of preparation of the woodwind section. Keep up the good work!
We are approaching seating auditions, so this is a good time to really dig into your fall festival pieces. We will perform Vals Bohemienne and Overture to Coriolanus (beginning to letter D, then a big cut to around measure 160; definite cut TBD next week).
It is really important that every student listens to the playlist regularly and spends 10-15 minutes on their music daily. Moving forward, personal preparation is the only way we can make progress and polish these pieces.
Please focus on the following sections:
Val’s Bohemienne- both of the Poco Meno Mosso sections
Coriolanus- B through D
Please review these fingerings for violins and cellos. Everyone must transfer this into their parts before next rehearsal.
Violin 1 Fingerings – Coleridge-Taylor
Violin 2 Fingerings – Coleridge-Taylor
Cello Fingerings – Coleridge-Taylor
Have a great week!
