Practice the harmony parts if you are a second violin or cello!

CK: Deck the Halls–2nd violins, practice your D# on the D string in line B.

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen–(metronome speed: 118bpm) steady pizzicato the first time through; sticky staccatos the second time through

We Three Kings–(metronome speed: 126bpm) smooth slurs; watch for the tenuto markings that mean full, broad–hold the note for its full value, and when slurred or tied to another note, don’t put much of a space between the notes…it’s more of a pulse.

BONUS QUESTION: Define staccato, pizzicato, and arco.
