GREENSBORO STRINGS
HOLIDAY SING-ALONG 2016
This is our annual, free-spirited, concert of Holiday music. All students participate. Friends and family are invited to attend the concert and sing the familiar songs. Included in our tradition is an annual pizza supper and rehearsal of the Holiday music during the week before Thanksgiving.
We consider the preparation of this concert to be the beginning of our “Note-reading Season”. For those in Suzuki Book 2 and up, the focus should be on developing note-reading rather than on learning more pieces. Decide with your teacher how many pieces you will learn. Students “earn” permission to play the pieces by understanding the written music. Advanced students challenge themselves by learning more harmony parts and by choosing advanced fingering.
