11/5 Long, Long Ago review; French Folk Song; Etude; Allegro; O Come Little Children; any pieces from previous class that need review

11/19 dress rehearsal. PLEASE NOTE TIME: 9-10 a.m room 224

11/20 Harvest Concert at TATNALL SCHOOL arrive 12:30 for tuning. Start 1 p.m.

FOR ALL VIOLISTS

I just met with Ms. Jennifer today, and it turns out that the cellists play Long, Long Ago in a different key. So we can play the piece with them, we'll NO LONGER be learning the harmony part the older group class has been working on-- sorry about that. Instead, everyone will play the piece in the key of G, starting on the note G on the D string (third finger). We will go over it in class together.
