Strings

Ahhh, that very first strings concert!  This is one of my favorites because it showcases 5th grade students who have never held an instrument and in 3 months they play music!

I've recorded a snip-it of each song.  This first one introduces "plucking".    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PNgDHZIotE


This next song is a little longer, but still utilizes their plucking skills.  The difficulty is in changing their left-hand positions.

Here, they show off their mastery of the bow.

And putting those two methods together was a little surprising for this first concert.

For their last piece, they gave us a Christmas song.

So proud of their first performance!
