We were able to do so much sight-reading today in 6th grade! This tells me two things:
1. Behavior was slightly improved from the last class.
2. We are becoming more observant musicians, using our knowledge and past performance as a reference to read new works accurately.
Let's continue to work on improving the silence that happens when we stop playing. When I -- or any conductor -- "cuts off" the music, it means that they have something to say to you. Don't begin talking during this time because it distracts from the learning. If you have something to say, I will gladly call on quietly raised hands.
We read the following pieces today:
3 Scenes From Green Valley
Entry of the Tumblers
Celtic Dance
