EQ: How is harmony created and how does understanding all the parts of a piece help the intonation and rhythm within an ensemble

Monday: Today was technique day although we did not get to play your open-string warm-ups. We went over analysis of a piece of music (#6), which basically means you break the music down into its essential parts so that you understand everything that is going on while you are playing.

Tuesday: Pay attention to the board so that you can find out how to complete an analysis of the 1st eight measures which is due on Friday. Please turn this into the basket.....not the box : ) Rhythm flashcards (playing instead of clapping), Danny Rocks (except violins who will be working with Dr. K to fine tune Symphony No. 4) Those students working on the Danny Rocks excerpts will be learning to play in the celtic style.

Wednesday: Sectionals on Danny Rocks except that the violins will be with MC. Open-String warm-up, and Symphony No. 4 as a class---hopefully it will be better this week in the violin sections.

Thursday: rhythms, #6, Symphony No.4 and Danny Rocks

Friday: ONLINE CONCERT : )---SEE LAST WEEKS DETAIL.....also make sure you have performed your scales pass-offs by the end of the day today (IT IS A TEST GRADE)
