Song of the Week:

6th Grade Assignment
Perfect our three large group pieces. Play through each 2x every time you play to see how much stamina you need for the concert.

7/8 Grade Assignment
Make sure to play ALL of you pieces at least 5x this week. It is a lot of music to get through. Look at problem spots. If I stop you in class, you know it is a problem spot. Play it 10x each.

Extra Credit
Go to http://philharmonicindy.org. When is this orchestra putting on its next concert? Where will it be? Who is the conductor? What are they playing? Put your answer in the practice card box. For even more extra credit, ask Mrs. Ohly-Davis for free tickets to attend the concert. Check to make sure that a parent can attend with you first. You can write another extra credit report about your experience going to this concert.
