Northshore Beginning Orchestra One-Bow Concerto

Do you see Ms Emmy and Ms. Cathy? 

Can you figure out why it is called One-Bow?

Do you recognize some fellow-musicians from Foothills Music Orchestra?

Every morning we work with 4th, 5th and 6th grade string students, for a combined program totaling 200 musicians in the Northshore School District.

This particular performance of One-Bow Concerto is our  5th and 6th grade students; 100 in all.

I had conducted 2 groups separate, of 50 each the week prior, but this was the first time we all came together...including our cellist, violist and violinist, who are also teachers in the Northshore Elementary Strings Program.

All our best,

We had duets, where the students learned to arrange the music...

this was Angels we have Heard on High

We teach organ as well, and what a treat to play a Bach Fugue on a lovely instrument!

We had 3 performances, and in between, the teachers got together and played for fun.

Rhythm Dissection - November 10th Fun Theory Class

Rhythm Dissection - Saturday Nov 10th  10:30-11:15

Are you tired of your teacher constantly saying..."you need to count! 2 eighths equal a quarter!" and you are thinking..."huh?"

Well, we're going to strengthen your counting skills using games and percussion so that you'll hopefully not hear that from your teacher again.

We're going to dissect measures of music to find easy ways to count.  We are going to be playing lots of games in this class, so prepared to make a ton of noise!!!

Fee:  $5 
Bring a friend...the more noise the better!

We look forward to seeing and "hearing" you on Saturday!
