Ensemble Rehearsals and Mini-Theory Class
Ensemble Rehearsals will take the place of regular lessons during the week of October 14-18. Please obtain this music prior to the first week of Fall Term lessons so we can get a solid start on the music!
Please prioritize this rehearsal as it is essential for a positive performance experience. (Pay attention to group numbers, they are in the order of rehearsal, not level). The printed books are easier to navigate than digital downloads with multiple single pages. I would prefer that you purchase the books. I have indicated which piece and which part your child should learn.
