Advanced Orchestra
Advanced Orchestra is using Google Classroom during our distance/online learning for Q4. The class code for this class is: up73zpu
Students must log into Google Classroom with their school district email account ([email protected])
The advanced orchestra is open to 7th and 8th graders who have met the audition requirements: C, G, D, A, F, Bb Major Scales, understanding of key signatures, rhythm reading (16th notes and triplets in addition to first year rhythms), demonstrated work ethic and rehearsal conduct.
In this class, students learn how to play in higher positions (beginning with 3rd position and going higher), how to shift, how to do vibrato, memorize 2 octave scales/arpeggios/thirds, and continue working on orchestra skills in order to be prepared for high school orchestra.
A few reminders:
All students need to keep their finger nails clipped
All violin/viola students need a shoulder rest
All cello/bass students need a rock stop
All students need a copy of our method book: Essential Elements for Strings Vol. 3 (for the correct instrument)
Students must practice every night (the material we cover during class)
Attend one concert per quarter and evaluate it
Perform in the concerts listed in the course disclosure
