Here we are, about a month and a half into our instrument playing. We have made it through Units 1, 2, 3, and 4 in our book, and are in the process of taking our first playing test (Ode to Joy). The students are learning how to have a successful rehearsal, the expectations in a strings class, and how to play a few songs. Our first concert is approaching! It will take place on Tuesday, December 16 at 6:00 p.m. in our own Franklin gym. Students should plan to report at 5:30, dressed in the appropriate uniform. The uniform is: all white shirt all black pants/skirt all black socks/nylons all black shoes **if you have any trouble getting this uniform, please contact Mrs. Seadeek immediately!** Songs to be played in the concert may be found in Unit 4, and are: Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star Ode to Joy Jingle Bells Are You Sleeping? Chanukah, Chanukah There may also be an honors string group. We will determine what song(s) that group will play by the 25th. Stay tuned for details!
