EQ: How do you polish a piece for concert preparation?

This week we will focus solely on your pieces for the upcoming concert:

Symphony No. 4

Rites of Tamburo

Viola Hero

1st Half of Danny Rocks: I am doing this to show parents a preview of what is to come :)

All students need to work on dynamic contrast and balance within the ensemble. We have worked really hard on our individual parts now make sure we hear and support what is important. We will be working with the band throughout the week on Rites both as a full symphony and in small ensembles so that you can hear/ match styles with the band.

Learning Goals

1. How to play with a band
2. Adjust dynamics and balance as it relates to melody and harmony
3. Listen and adjust to other sections while you are playing
4. Polish a piece for a performance (dynamics, articulations, balance, phrasing)
