Course Description
Course Description
The primary goal of playing in CDS Orchestra is to improve your orchestral skills. As an ensemble course we will focus on overall concepts of self and ensemble expression, engagement, participation, and performance. We will also address musical concepts of ensemble and individual balance, blend, intonation, phrasing, dynamics, articulation, tone, rhythmic precision, color, and ensemble clarity. Students will improve the way they listen to themselves, to each other and to the composer’s voice. Our goals can be summarized in the following: Creating, Performing, Responding, and Connecting.
