Foothills Music Academy

Youth Orchestra ...

Hello fellow community musicians,

We want to invite you to become a member of our orchestra. You can join at any time and we do not hold auditions. Every week we welcome a new member, so please do not be anxious. Come and listen and see what we are about.

We are a group of young musicians from all over the Eastside who come together to play music.
If you love playing your violin, viola, cello, bass, piano or guitar, please join us.

Do you like to compose? We play original music written and conducted by members. Very fun!

For those of you that are piano players or guitar players, you are welcome to join.

If we end up with an overflowing group of pianists, we will start a piano orchestra, so do not hesitate to join.

Too many guitarists? We can start a guitar jam session with our new instructor, Maddy.

We meet September - May, every Thursday evening 6:30-7:30.

The fee is $120 per quarter. (Sept-Nov, Dec-Feb,Mar-May).

Example of Music we play: Best of Queen, Halo 3 alongside Classical Beethoven and Baroque Telemann

Bring a friend! Let's make this group rock this year!!!

All our best,

Catherine and Faculty

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,

Wunderkeys Preschool Piano - A Headstart in Music, Math and Life!

Wunderkeys does not follow the trend of group music classes for Preschoolers. Young children have many opportunities to participate in group music lessons. Our program is something different...a true one-on-one piano program.

Every activity, image, song and story in the Wunderkeys Program is designed with preschoolers in mind. Our one-on-one piano program takes preschool children with no musical experience on a magical journey where they acquire the piano skills, keyboard awareness, and rhythmic understanding they need for a successful future at the piano.

The lessons are for 30 minutes, and they will be busy and fully engaged for that entire time. We play duets, finger games, pattern manipulatives, physical rhythm movement and much more, such as playing a glockenspiel! Every lesson builds upon the last, and each week we send home at-home lessons for the preschoolers to teach their parents!

PIANO LESSONS HELP PRESCHOOLERS:

1. Build Self-Esteem

2. Maintain Focus

3. Develop hand-eye coordination

4. Express their emotions

5. Relieve stress

6. Encourage familiarity and comfort performing at a young age

7. Create a strong teacher-student bond

8. Enhance musicality through ear training and rhythmic awareness

9. Develop pattern recognition
