Here's a reminder of some GREAT quotes from your sectionals this week:
Ask yourself...How long is that note? When does it end? Keep your fingers close to the keys to avoid "blurbs." Don't stop when you make a mistake, play through the phrase. Subdivide!
Low instruments, play out...everyone else, listen down.Brasses find your pitches by playing up the scale. Winds when playing legato let your tongue ride the air. Watch the conductor!
Bring your music jokes written down on a piece of paper and put them onMrs. Kubota's stand before rehearsal next week.
Pasadena Youth Symphony Orchestra
The Pasadena Youth Symphony Orchestra has continually offered robust musical training and personal development for young musicians throughout the San Gabriel Valley for over 40 years (1972). PYSO is considered among the best youth orchestras in the Southland. The PYSO is comprised of middle school students from grades six through nine. These committed young people receive advanced instruction and challenging music opportunities through a rigorous program that emphasizes ensemble playing. Members of the PYSO have performed throughout the world, including venues in Vienna, New York’s Carnegie Hall, the ASTA Conference and Competition in Santa Clara and many others. Last season, the PYSO appeared in concert with the United States Air Force Academy Band, Blue Steel at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO. Members of PYSO have also had many opportunities for additional performances outside the full orchestra program such chamber music at Pasadena Symphony concerts and a special guest appearance on Fox’s TV sensation, Glee. PYSO falls under the auspices of the Pasadena Symphony Association and often interacts with Pasadena Symphony and POPS conductors, guest artists, musicians and staff.
