ACCELERANDO!!

Great job in class today!

Next week, instead of regular rehearsal, we will be visited by a guest ensemble! This gives you 2 weeks to start learning our new piece and keep polishing the others.
Listen to each piece and follow along with your part in front of you! Do this at least 4 times in the next 2 weeks.
In Snowy Woods, pay close attention to intonation. Write in where there is a low 2, a half step, or a natural sign.
For all pieces, focus especially on where your section has the main melody. Be prepared for your section to perform it in class in 2 weeks!

Scales to practice:

C Major (violins 1 octave, viola/cello 2 octaves) and D major scales

Scales to Practice

look at the A Major scale, one octave. I would recommend printing the A Major page. We will go over it in two weeks!
