I've really enjoyed listening to the recordings of our pieces that we made on Tuesday. I hear lots of great things...especially "Trepak" in 3-Minute Nutcracker. We have lots of work to do in the coming weeks to get everything just right for our concert. Let's make it a goal to REALLY know ALL of the notes and rhythms of every piece so we can begin to work on the more expressive elements of our music. After reading this...scroll down to Ms. Lim's notes from September 30.
Read the section "Full Rehearsal" I couldn't have said it better!***Reminder*** Number your measures for an extra treat this week!
Please take the time to listen to these recordings of our pieces below. Pay careful attention to what parts you hear the most and see how your individual part either shines as the melody, or supports someone else playing the melody.

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.
