NEW Music for December 2021 Concert! Listen below at the links.
Leroy Anderson – Plink Plank Plunk
Listen to recording with part in hand
Practice with metronome
Mendelssohn – Sinfonia in D Major
1st movement – Allegro
Review ALL of the first movement – check notes in the “fantasy section” while keeping it soft (mm. 33-45)
2nd movement – Andante
Review ALL – practice counting and with metronome.
Violin 2 – Copy in your bowings here!
3rd movement – Allegro vivace
(1) Listen to the third movement with your score in hand. (Third movement begins at 8:50)
(2) Review all! Keep your bows at the balance point and subdivide 1-2-3-4-5-6 on the long notes.
arr. Longfield – Music from La La Land
Listen to recording with part in hand
Practice waltz (measures 155-166)
With metronome on dotted quarters (1 click per measure)
VIOLINS: Practice Another Day of Sun (pickup to 33-45) SOWLY with a metronome on quarter notes (4 clicks per measure). The rhythms in some measures are trickier than you think!
In the grand scheme it’s staying together but some quarters are being played like eighths and we want it really precise for the concert 🙂
arr. Morales – Most Wonderful Time of the Year
Listen with your score in hand! Get used to the “Waltz in 1”. Try to count aloud so that you can hear the inner “1-2-3” beats.
Review all!
MPA Music – We will revisit this music in January and February
Ariosti/Clark – Vespasian Overture
Listen to the recording with your part in hand!
Practice your rhythms with a metronome.
Tchaikovsky/Meyer – Serenade for Strings
Practice all! Get ready for a run-through next week.
Soon Hee Newbold – Perseus
Listen a lot with your part in hand! (click above for recording)
Practice all! Get ready for a run-through next week.
Listen to this YouTube recording, and move the recording to the 4:00 mark. Try to count the time signatures with the recording as we did in class!
