Want to help some middle school students with their solos and ensemble? Glacier Creek is looking for a few tutors for their after school solo and ensemble program. It meets after school on Mondays or Tuesdays. Sign up here if you can help for one or multiple days!
Check out this information about solo & ensemble registration:
A. Finding an accompanist for your solo
If you are performing a solo that has a piano accompaniment, you have three options.
1. Find a pianist to play with you.
(If you're having trouble finding someone, see this doc.)
2. Play with a recording.
(Most Class B and some Class A solos have a recording available. Ask Mr. V.)
3. Perform unaccompanied.
(Not really recommended; it's harder to present well.)
B. Registering
The registration form is posted in Google Classroom and is due TUESDAY, January 13. We will have class time this week to fill it out.
