If there are any sections where the notes are confusing, play your part with the bow to get more confident with it.
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) Practice with METRONOME at 100 for the dotted quarter note.
arr. Longfield – Music from La La Land
Practice transitions—know these measures really well so that you can look up and prepare to slow down/catch the tempo.
arr. Morales – Most Wonderful Time of the Year
