Mother Ginger:
• Playing really loud is NOT impressive
• Don’t rush! (Violins & Cellos)
• Try not to get caught in the upper half of the Bow
• Watch the Stand ahead of you
• Strict Waltz Pulse
• Work/Listen to the style (glocoso)
Bach:
• Violins work on both parts
• Violins work on middle part
• Baroque music is very ornate and decorated
• You shouldn’t have to work hard to make your part heard
• We need all the little notes
• Music should have variation in it at all times
Still Nacht:
• Hardest piece, don’t stop practicing it
• You must count hard!
• Release together and be ready for the downbeat
• Write counts in so you don’t get lost
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.
