Hi Karl!  Here are your e minor projects for oct 28th skillz hour!  I want you to listen and practice these in this order.  The Corelli will be your solo – it is all about slow bow, vibrato and finger pairings – in other words, sound, sound, sound!

This is an Irish tune in our current key of E minor.  Take notice of the slurs and all the shifts! ‘Shift early and often…’  Break the hard parts into 4 – 8 note sections and drill!  We’ll perform this at the Skillz Hour on Friday, October 28th…

This is an Irish tune in E minor that we will be performing on the Skillz Hour October 28th.  The trickiest part of this is the slurs – practice slowly and correctly!  There are two sections of this tune that will be performed by the Leonids alone – you will hear these, but they are not in your music…

This is a slow, mournful irish tune named after islands off the coast of Ireland.  It is in 3, and has a dotted rhythm; make sure to feel the second beat before leaving the dotted quarter at the beginning of each measure.  We’re performing this on the October 28th Skillz hour!

Say these rhythms a bunch of times before playing them! You are in extension in every position in the scale.  This key, E minor, is the relative minor of G major, which means they share a key signature (one sharp: F#) This is in a ‘call and response’ form, so listen to each cell, then repeat.  The new clef you see is tenor clef – we’ll start using some tenor clef this year… We’ll perform this at the Skillz Hour on Friday, October 28th!
