Those words, from Arnie, are music to OUR ears as we practice deligently each week in preparation for both our lesson and the Tuesday evening Orchestra rehersals. Attendence was down this past Tuesday as there were many competing events, from sports to baby showers!
Arnie did share a tip for this week. He says we need to be mindful of the lack of sharps in Izy's Waltz. He had the group work on finding C natural and F natural, reminding us to use a "low second finger" for both. It was helpful to run up and down the scale on both the A string, finding C natural, and also on the D string, zeroing in on F natural. For most, this may seem like an easy feat, but most of our songs have been in the key of G with both F and C being sharp.
With the concert less than a month away, the next topic for Arnie's input will be about concert etiquette. I am sure he will have some guidance for us to prepare us as some of the students will move on to bigger stages!
