We had a great week! Please look below for your orchestra’s rehearsal review.

Middle School Orchestra
We had a small group today, so we just reviewed Abandoned Funhouse and Royal Promenade. We also went over how to play some of the new notes in Seven Nation Army. Please be sure to practice at home, especially if you weren’t able to attend rehearsal!
Elementary Orchestra
This week, we learned about quarter notes, quarter rests, and whole rests in an effort to start learning The Salamander Samba. We also learned about where our open strings are on the staff and wrote in some note names in The Salamander Samba.
We learned about how to hold the bow and practiced using the bow on our open strings. For information about the bow grip, watch the video below:
Have a great week!
