Week of Sept. 23

Practice Tip: Getting a strong, full sound. Warm up with a scale and watch your BOW. It should be halfway between the bridge and the fingerboard. The bow should be parallel to the bridge. Also watch the string and see how much you can make it vibrate.

Extra Credit – 5 points
This upcoming weekend Augustin Hadelich will be performing with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. What competition did he win in the last year? What instrument does he play? What piece will he be playing? What is the price range for a ticket for the concert?

Email your answers to eohly-davis@msdwt.k12.in.us or turn them in to the practice card box by Monday October 1.
