Happy Weekend, Senior Symphony! OK, please review this music and, if you haven’t yet, please  listen to the cool piece by Giuseppi Verdi… just say the name…it’s fun! So, on Monday, please dress “Holidayish” for our String Orchestra friends in the audience. Also, please think about an action you will take to help your family,

It’s a sunny Sunday! Hello, Senior Symphony : ) I hope you are enjoying the day today and are able to get in a little rest and fun as you prepare for the week. Tomorrow, for our time together, I plan to rehearse the strings while Mr. Pearl and Mr. Sipe work with the winds

Hello, Senior Symphony! I am so very proud of you! Congratulations to all of you for your incredible and amazing concert! I really enjoy everything about making music with you. So, I hope you enjoy the start of the holiday season as well as some very well-deserved time for yourselves. Safe travels for those of you

Hello, Senior Symphony! I am really looking forward to today and tomorrow! Remember we are at Carroll University… in the wilds of Waukesha…where there are trains and where we all get lost too easily. Rehearsal needs to start on time, please.  🙂 Tuesday was outstanding! Congratulations, again. I have a few spots to help you

Hi, Everyone! Part of my score study today was to review the areas where I think I need to help you feel a bit more comfortable. I’ll develop this short list and then work against it next Monday when we play/rehearse through the concert. How’s your practice coming? Do the hard stuff! After Monday’s rehearsal,

Good Afternoon, Senior Symphony! What an absolutely wonderful concert you performed yesterday. The orchestra displayed a beautiful balance of skill, musicality, bravery, poise, and heart. I am such a huge fan of each of you and our brilliant orchestra, and your audience LOVES you! I’ll see you tomorrow for rehearsal and would like to encourage you

Happy Halloween, Senior Symphony!  I hope you are having a fun day! Please make sure you are in attendance at the remainder of our rehearsals and concerts this fall. You are so important and I see that a few of you are still a bit timid and underprepared. We need everyone at the concerts, too!

Happy Friday, Senior Symphony! I hope you’ve had a really nice week!  I’ve missed you! I think this is what we need right now…would you please review your music and put a bracket around the few places you still feel awkward? Then, work on those before Monday? We only have two more Monday rehearsals until

Good Afternoon, Senior Symphony I sure do miss seeing you between Mondays! Good luck to all of you who will be playing performances over the weekend and to all those marching in the chilly weather at State!  I hope to see some of you there : ) And while we’re nowhere close to being performance-ready,
