    How is my child doing in orchestra?
     
     
    For each song that your child passes in the book they receive a sticker and a "Bach Buck". The number of stickers represents what song your child has passed.
     
        To pass a song the performance is composed of the all of the following traits:
    1. Good posture with both the instrument and bow
    2.  Correct rhythm and notes
    3. Playing in tune
     
     
    To hear and accurate performance you can watch the videos under the following headings
    (located on the left side of the website):
     
    Suzuki Songs (4th Grade Book)
    Learn to Play (5th Grade book)
     
     
    When Can My Child Audition for Vivance, Bridge, ViBravo and Chamber?
     
    Students can audition for Vivace when they have completed the 5th grade book and also have "passed" one Vivace concert piece. It is highly recommended that they study with a private teacher when in Pre-ViBravo due to the music being so difficult. The group and it's members are held to a high standard of performing. If your child is interested in private lessons please contact Monica Holy or Mariana Wood.
     
    Students can audition for ViBravo and Chamber once they have "passed" through all of the Vivace material.
