In orchestra this week the first violin’s got better at a harmonics. We played Galena Milwaukee Breakdown, Toccatina, and Japanese Lullaby. We worked hard on dynamics, rhythm, and vibrato. She made sure that our notes were in tune so that when we played we didn’t sound weird. The first violins learned how to get to second position on time. And that it is like getting a brain transplant. Cellos perfected their vibrato. Also they worked on 2nd position in Toccatina. They worked on their timings on Scottish Journey. We all got better on listening to the whole orchestra. But we still need to work on being quiet and listening when we need to. But we are getting better on not playing when we are supposed to. In small groups we worked on bowing exercises, and how to move your wrist properly. Also we worked on playing phrases in Scottish Journey and counting the beats.
