Orchestra and Ensemble Cancelled, Feb. 11, 2014
Since most schools have been cancelled today and there is more weather coming tonight,
we will cancel our rehearsals and private lessons for Tuesday, Feb. 11.
Take care and we will see you at Orchestra and Ensemble rehearsals next week!
Parent’s Meeting and New Theme/Calendar
Tonight we had the first orchestra practice and parent’s meeting. The kids are already sounding good! Thursday is the opening play-in for all group violin and cello students. We will start with another parent’s meeting.
I’ve updated the look of our blog. The main reason was so we could have a wider page, which will be nice on the Calendar page. I’m now able to embed a calendar from Google, which will be easier to update. I’ve posted the Orchestra, Ensemble and Group Lesson dates for September and into October (those are tentative).

Summer Workshops
Group Violins
This June, students in the program were able to meet for group lessons in Carrier Lodge in three groups, beginners, intermediate, and ensemble. All three groups met for four days. The beginners and intermediate students practiced their Suzuki repertoire and worked on note reading skills. The ensemble students worked on new pieces, including Mission Impossible, which after only four days was beginning to sound pretty good, especially since it was recorded on Miss Diane’s phone!
