5th Grade Holiday Concert!

It was so fun to put the cellos, violas and violins together for the first time to play in the auditorium! Good job! Special thanks to my 8th grade orchestra AT's Emma Roundy and Payton Blackburn for helping in the classroom and in the concert!

How to hold a Violin or Viola

This is a lesson on how to properly hold your violin or viola. Please make sure you have a shoulder rest! If you need me to put finger tapes on your instrument, please email me and drop your instrument off at the front office. I will email you back when your instrument is ready to be picked up. If you need me to look at how you are holding your instrument please set up a zoom conference time with me after school when I can help you.

Conquest by Jeremy Woolstenhulme

We rehearsed this last spring for our year-end concert but alas there was no concert. Now with those students remaining we polished it back up. It's never too late to perform "Conquest!"
