Debut Orchestra Messages

August 20, 2024

Hello Debut Musicians and Families!

Welcome to the best group out there (totally biased!). I’m excited to make music with you this year. Learn “About Me” HERE!

Please plan to bring a pencil and your music in a folder to the first rehearsal and label everything! We’re a big group, so I’ll have seats assigned to help you find your spot.

Things you can do to feel more confident sight-reading at our first rehearsal:

  • Print out your music when it’s becomes available
  • Mental Practice/Preparation: Listen to the recordings (links will be updated closer to our first rehearsal) to hear what the pieces sound like…even better if you can follow along with the music. You are NOT expected to know your music perfectly the first night!
  • Find out what key each piece is in and try to play a scale in that key.
  • Look for anything you don’t recognize or might have a question about and ask about them in rehearsal or with your private teacher.

Songs for Fall 2024:

  • TBA

Next up:

  • September 23 – First Rehearsal!
  • October TBA – Seating Auditions

See you on 9/23/24!

Mrs. Ewing (You-ing)
