Please come out Thursday night and see our FANTASTIC Holiday Show! It features our awesome Recorder Ensemble and our Bel Canto Beacons Chorus!
I am SO unbelievably proud of this group here. They have worked SO hard and they sound awesome! Way to go guys!
I am in the process of trying to figure out how to attach an audio file to my blog because I recorded these guys in rehearsal this morning and I'd love to share it with you. So, hopefully I will figure that out soon.
This year in Recorder Ensemble, I am blessed with ten amazing talented students. They meet me once a week, EARLY in the morning before school. They do audition and must be able to play Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" on the recorder, which they learned last year in music class if they completed our "Recorder Karate" curriculum. Only fifth graders are allowed in Recorder Ensemble this early in the year because fourth grade has not learned how to play yet.
This particular group is incredibly focused and hard working. I'm not sure I even have enough music planned for them because they are already playing so well after only two rehearsals. I gave them "homework" for Recorder Ensemble and they cheered! :-)
