Advanced Orchestra Assignment 9/12

Great Rehearsal this Week

Practice Points

Harry Potter 

Everyone

mm 15-19 We went through these in class for quite some time.  Please take time this week to master them.  

Listen for the Bb in mm17 and the low 2 Bb in measure 19

 

 mm 31-35  This is very similar to the first section we worked on except you don't go to the low Bb on the G string.  

mm 57-59 

Violins- low 2 on the D string and low 4 on the A 

Violas and Cellos-low 2 on D and G and low 1 on the D 

Violins Only

 mm 25-26 also a low 2 going to a Bb low one on the A string.

Go through Hey Ho Nobody's home

If you find this song too easy check to make sure you are playing ALL the SLURS and getting the dotted rhythms just right.  

If that is mastered look at your position while you play is it perfect.  

Check your Bow hand-are you leaning forward with a bent thumb.  

Your left wrist-Is it straight

Irish Dance

mm 33-40 learn the Down Down Up Up bowing-Play it slow.  This is a new skill for most of you.  Be patient with yourself.  Play it slow enough that you get the bowing right without having to tighten your bow hand as you concentrate.
Please take the time to learn the sections here.  When we practice at home we can create music in class.
