Dear String Orchestra North and Central Musicians,
It’s wonderful to make music with you! We are truly at our best when we work together, learn from oneย another, and trust each other. Here are listening links and a few tips for how to be an active listener for pieces on the Play-Your-Part Concert on Saturday, Novemberย 9.
Links to Recordings:
- Sinfonia in G, Elliot Del Borgo
- Dragon Fire, Susan Day
- Autumn Vows, Susan Day
- Dynamite, Victor Lopez
Tips for Listening:
- Position yourself in the right location away from distractions.
- Listen on a smartphone or computer using earbuds or headphones.
- Follow along with your sheet music, and hum along with your part once you know the melody.
- Practice ear training. Begin to recognize different rhythms, tempos, pitches, intervals, dynamics, and keys.
Thank you!
