It's been a while since I talked about the string orchestra I teach. We've been very busy this year. I have a great group of kids to work with. They (for the most part) work hard and want to do a good job. Last month we had a concert at our local library. There was probably about 70 in the audience. Both groups played and did a great job. I finally figured out how to upload videos to Youtube, so you get to hear and see us perform.
The first year orchestra has been playing since September. We played:
Can-Can
Mozart Serenade -- Mozart
French Folk Song
Theme to Master Piece Theater
Bach Musette -- Bach
William Tell Overture -- Rossini
Polly Wolly Doodle
Before playing, scroll down and stop the audio feed of the quartet I have playing in my right menu bar, or you'll have 2 things playing at once.
The second year orchestra has been playing for 18 months (started last September). They played:
Yankee Doodle -- Traditional
Beauty and the Beast -- Alan Menken
Trumpet Voluntary -- Clarke
Classical Bash
Pomp and Circumstance -- Elgar
"Finale" from the First Symphony -- Brahms
Before playing, scroll down and stop the audio feed of the quartet I have playing in my right menu bar, or you'll have 2 things playing at once.
Here are photos of the groups so you can see their shining faces.
I've been home schooling for 15 years and, if everything continues as it has, will probably have done it for a total of 30 by the time the youngest is through. YIKES!!! So, you can guess what I'm going to talk about.
