Week one - the fun starts now!
The Intermediate Ensemble is for students who have at least 2 years of experience, can play with a full bow, are comfortable reading notes up to 3 sharps and 2 flats in first position, and can read and play rhythms that include 16th notes. We will focus on building a strong ensemble sound including matching bowings and articulations, listening and responding to the others, and developing techniques for more refined dynamic and tempo changes. By the end of the festival, our members will be able to perform with a deeper sense of musicality and style.
