II. Orchestral excerpts:
These were handed out in the Fall of 2006. Ms. Almore will hand them out again
on the first day of school.
III. Etude excerpts:
These were handed out in the Fall of 2006.
Ms. Almore will hand them out again on the first day of school.
IV. Sight-reading--you can practice this!
Take out old orchestra music and play it.
You don't even have to be with other string players to practice sight-reading.
If you have a friend in band or chorus or guitar, ask to look at their music
and clap the rhythms with them!
Violins and Cellos (and Basses) can use piano music to practice sight
reading!!
Violas can, too, since you need to learn the treble clef to be competitive for
SRO!
