Welcome

Welcome to 5th Grade Orchestra!  We'll be meeting on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons:
        East: 12:10 to 12:50
        South: 1:30 to 2:15
        North 2:45 to 3:30
We'll start meeting September 3rd.
This class is open to any 5th grader who is interested in learning to play a musical instrument (violin, viola, cello or bass) in an ensemble (group).  We will start at the beginning with rhythm and note reading, how to follow a conductor, and fingering and bow position for your instrument.  We will move as quickly or slowly as we can as a class.  It takes a lot of teamwork and individual work to play in an orchestra and I hope that student will be determined to take the time and put in the effort to learn to play their individual parts.  Because putting together different rhythms and sounds to harmonize into a beautiful masterpiece is an AMAZING experience!
