Monday, May 13th Rehearsal Schedule and Concert Listing
5:00 classes are available with Jim (winds & percussion) and Cathy (strings) each Monday. Please understand that if you are having situations with any of our ensemble music that learning more about your instrument and the language of MUSIC will help! We can show you how to practice using performance method books that will help you improve your musicianship and therefore make an impact on your ensemble contribution. We can also show you ways to simplify your parts and work toward a more satisfying contribution to our performances. REALLY! We don’t bite!
