ADVANCED ORCHESTRA for strings, winds, and percussion (9:00A M-F, performance Friday) - Our most advanced orchestra for string, brass, wind, and percussion instruments. Playing and reading ability equivalent to Suzuki book 5 and above required. Adults and faculty of similar ability are welcome to participate at no extra charge. Music will be sent in early July. NOTE: For instruments other than strings, if enrollment is insufficient for a particular percussion, wind or brass instrument, those registrants will be assigned to an ensemble instead.

LATE BEGINNER/INTERMEDIATE STRING ORCHESTRA (8:00A M-F, performance Friday) - An ensemble for string players with some orchestral experience who read reasonably well and for mid and late bk. 2 students just learning to note read. Students should be able to read in the keys of D, G, C, F and B flat, as well as the meters of 4/4, 3/4, 2/4, and 6/8. Less advanced book 2 students will be assigned easier parts than thn the bk. 3 and up students. The atmosphere is non-competitive, and seating will be determined by the director. The goal of the class is not necessarily to challenge reading levels of the participants. Instead, the goal is to encourage expression, learn to be sensitive to different voices and instruments, perform at a high standard, and develop orchestra skills. Music will be sent in early July.
