5 more rehearsals before our first concert on December 6th!
Practice Tips:
> Find a quiet place to practice. Be sure to have good posture. Place your music stand at eye level. Have a pencil and mark your music as needed.
> Warm-up slowly and carefully. Your embouchure is critical for good tone. Warming up correctly will keep the muscles in your embouchure flexible.
> Practice the assigned material. Be careful that you are using correct pulse, rhythm, notes, articulation, dynamics, phrasing, and style. Isolate problem sections and practice those areas slowly.
> Several shorter sessions of practice are more productive than 1 long one!!
Looking forward to seeing you next Tuesday!

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.
