String Update and Assignment

Fourth Graders
4A:  Today we played the "Concerto for Triangle" up to measure 9, then started "Carol of the Bells."  Remember to check the fingering guide (highlighted strings) if you have difficulties with your notes!

Assignment:

  • D Major Scale
  • Concerto for Triangle - see how far you can get!  Play pizzicato first, then add the bow.
  • Carol of the Bells
4B/C:  Today we played through all of Carol of the Bells.  Sadly, we only had time to play a little bit of the Concerto for Triangle.

Assignment:
  • D Major Scale
  • Concerto for Triangle - Try to play through the whole piece!
  • Carol of the Bells - G F# G E pattern - play this 20 times in a row.  Good luck! :)

Fifth Graders:
5A/B:  We played through all of Carol of the Bells - great job!

Assignment:
  • D Major Scale
  • Concerto for Triangle - All
  • Carol of the Bells - All.  Practice switching between pizzicato and arco (bowed) sections!
I'm looking forward to this Thursday's full orchestra rehearsal. See you there! :)
