Dragon Dances the strawberry walk walk rhythm with slurs and Hot Potato....can we pass the melody around and make it sound the same between sections?
Wednesday: A major scale and arpeggios, purple book test, and open string warm-up.

Thursday and Friday: MC will not be in class so you all will be working in sectionals on the following pieces:
4th period violins and violas: Mouse March and Dance Scenario
4th period cello and bass: End Pin Rag
5th period 1st violins: Irish Suite
5th period 2nd violins and violas: Fiddle Pieces and Hot Potato
5th period cellos and basses: Dragon Dances and Hot Potato
Friday each section will play for the class and you will grade each other. Your warm-ups are still due on Friday and I will check them on Monday.
Learning Goals:
- A major scale(High 3rd finger and forward extensions)
- Understanding of 16th notes and how to combine them with other rhythms
- How to match bow styles, placement, and articulation so that it sounds like one person/ section is playing continuously.
