Hello Stringers! I'm so happy you all are starting on the Dvorak Serenade for Strings :) although it's an extremely tough piece, it's a beautiful one - and very challenging too! Just take it as a study for the entire orchestra. This piece does not only need YOUR individual effort (by practicing all the notes, phrasings, intonation, etc..), it also requires A LOT of orchestra effort (in terms of phrasings, syncopation, tricky rhythms, overall texture of the piece)

So, we seniors hope that all of you will practice hard! And maybe soon, every single on of you will be able to play all 5 movements! I'll be waiting for that day okay! Oh man, I feel so old. Anyway, the Reds have graduated from string but that won't stop us from supporting every single one of you ALL THE WAY. So if anyone of you have any problems, please FEEL VERY FREE to contact any of us!

I'm trying to load all 5 movements in to the string gmail, but somehow gmail is conked up, so just check it regularly and the recordings may pop up!

STRINGOS YOU CAN DO IT! :DD

Oh yes! Japan trip is CONFIRMED ok (though not the date, but it'll be somewhere around November 27 to December 1) It's a pure REWARD and FUN trip for us so NO INSTRUMENTS WILL BE REQUIRED!

Love,
Jana
