Hi everyone,
I hope you had a restorative and fun spring break. Our rehearsal plan for Sunday, April 6 is below [edited on 4/3: new rehearsal end time is 6:00pm]
We will have hard copies of esperanza’s piece for everyone, but please print a practice copy for yourself (or load a PDF into your device) to practice between now and Sunday.
Also, listen to the mock audio of esperanza’s piece here, and follow along with your part. I’ve added this audio to the sidebar of this blog and the YouTube playlist for this term’s repertoire.
Best,
Dr. G.
