There will be no new content posted this week for orchestra class. In the meantime, you are welcome to check out optional, additional resources or past lessons that are posted here and on Seesaw. I’m looking forward to connecting with you next week, starting on Tuesday, April 14th!
This is a detailed video about how to fully tune your instrument. Remember - when using the pegs, make extremely small adjustments and push the peg in slightly while you turn it! If you have any questions please let me know!
Here are some articles and videos that are full of useful practicing tips! Some of them say one specific instrument, but the information is the same for all of them! Feel free to look through these for some inspiration!
Here are some fun games to help with reading music, practicing rhythms, and ear training! I will be updating this regularly so check back often! Have fun!!
The Music Interactive is a website with free app downloads for note reading and rhythm practice. My favorite games on this site include:
Staff Wars
Staff Wars 2 (listens to you play your instrument to start the game!)
Rhythm Blocks
Rhythmic Dictation
Strings (which includes diagrams of your instruments and full interactive fingering charts!)
