Great job today! I am so excited for this year.
Optional seating tryouts next week (Oct 2). If you would like to try out, please prepare #69 and #75.
Violins, be thinking about whether you would like to be a 1st or a 2nd violin (even if you are not trying out). If we have too many violins in one section, I may have to move some of you around. I will do my best to place you in the section of your preference.
Review p. 20 and 21 in Essential Elements
Rhythm books: clap Lesson 1. You may also pick a note on your violin and play.
We will be focusing on posture this year! This week, remember to play with a straight wrist. It may seem awkward if you are used to playing a different way, but I promise your hard work will pay off!
