Below are the tracks to two of our concert pieces.  I will send the round and some videos later, but I figured I should start with these two.  Please let me know if they are too fast, too slow, or if you have any questions.

Since we are doing a trio with the Happy Farmer I have send the track for each part so that it helps you practice better. Make sure to pick the right track.

 

On the Witches’ Dance Round, make sure that the dotted rhythms are accurate!

Follow-up from April 6 class:

Hello Everyone,

 

It was so nice to see you all last night! Just to follow up on what we worked on I am sending it to you in writing:

 

Practice

1. Shifting: going from first to third position slow and making sure the thumb goes along

2. Practice the D scale 2 octaves. This requires that you shift to third position. I am sending you the written scale and a track for you to practice with to check for intonation.

3. Keep working on the pieces you have, but this week we are doing a “fun” piece… so I am sending it to you along with the track so you can play along. Remember it is in C major so there are no sharps!

 

 

If you have any questions, let me know! I will see everyone again next Monday at 6:30 for class!

WEEK OF MARCH 16, 2020

See below for mp3 recordings of everything students play so they can play along at home, and also short instructional videos where I explain to them a new concept or something to focus on during practice for the week.

 

I know this is new for all of us, so please let me know if you have any questions or feedback. If you think I am not being clear, or going too fast, or whatever it is that you think may help your child practice better, please let me know. I want to make sure that they stay motivated and practicing.

 

Technique class should work this week on:

1. B Flat major scale (see mp3 file below)

2. Shifting

3. #64 pg 14 of their book

 

Camerata practice all three concert pieces with the recordings. But please watch video on the Two Grenadiers and Focus on those areas.

 

 

Videos are on YouTube and here are the links:
