Mandalorian Theme song played by the 8th grade Chamber Orchestra

We loved playing the Mandalorian Theme song! There are some tricky rhythms in this song and our class rocked it! It's a different arrangement because it is all strings but so fun to play on our instruments! The percussion is the sound of students tapping the top of their instruments and the base of their stands. I didn't film the class playing it because the synchronization license to do so costs hundreds of dollars - however, I was able to obtain a mechanical license (you can see it at the end of the video) so that we could put the audio recording on our school website for a limited time.

Boreas, The Cold, North Wind by Todd Parrish performed by 8th grade Orchestra

Chamber Orchestra students recorded this piece in class and each student chose or was assigned 8 measures to find a picture that fits that section so that we could make a class video. Ask your student which picture is theirs and how they interpreted their section. This piece has a copyright permission by Alfred Music - BOREAS - Synchronization_201109_25 to be on my website for 1 month. Enjoy!

Blues for You

This is an audio performance video of the 8th grade music AT's performing a piece called Blues for Four by Mike Christiansen. There are four guitar parts to this song. They did a nice job and as you can see in the video I am going to use their recording as part of my unit on the Blues and Jazz. Thanks ladies!
