Welcome to Violin Choir 1!
Our classes are on Saturdays, September 10 through December 10 (no class on November 26) in room 104 from 10-11am
Please arrive 5 minutes early to get unpacked and ready to tune. The repertoire will be: Down the Station and Kanon. We will have folders with music printed out for you on the first class on September 10th and there is no expectation to practice for this first rehearsal. We will have a good time working on sight reading and marking sections in our parts.
Please bring: A well-fitting mask, a sturdy stand labeled with your name, your instrument, and a pencil (or 2). We may have enough stands in the class, but they tend to wander from the rooms, so please bring an extra stand if you have one. We will be masking in class until Duke University relaxes the mask protocol, which will likely happen when new case numbers are lower.
Important: If you or someone in your household Covid symptoms and/or tests positive, please do not come to rehearsal that Saturday. Simply email me and I will make sure to give you assignments so that you can know what to work on during the week. If a student tests negative but is still ill (fever or vomiting in the last 48 hours, active cough, sore throat, doesn't feel well enough to play and participate, etc), please do not come to class and stay home to rest and recover.
Please review our attendance policies HERE.
I am looking forward to the new year!
