Intermediate Orchestra for 9.22.17
I am looking forward to a great year in Intermediate Orchestra this year. Thank you to all of those that tried out for seat. We will have a seating chart this Friday.
Be sure to print off a practice chart for Fall 2017. These are posted on the website under Practice Charts. Plan regular practice at least 4 times a week. Record your practice time and have your parent sign it each week. You will be given a reward ticket in your theory class for every 30” that you have practiced each week. Make a plan how you can save your tickets, as you can use these tickets at the Prize Store at the end of each semester. You can staple an envelope or a ziplock bag into your book.
I will post a bonus question each week. Please write down the answer and I will give a ticket in playing class for correct answers.
We will be starting our mini lessons in class this Friday. This way we can work individually with each student and cater goals for each student.
Practice page 20 and 21 if you know your notes on the D and A string. If you need more help, go back to page 14 and gradually review and get caught up.
Please be sure to learn all of the notes in the yellow box on page 14.
You will get flashcards this Friday to help learn your 8 notes if you need them.
