@UncleJesse1 True, true (great username, btw, I was quite the Full House fan back in the day).
I guess it's just disappointing to read such comments from one who is supposedly an educator of children.
In any case, I know this group doesn't sound great. That wasn't the point of posting the video of them. I only taught them for 1 year. If they left rehearsal with at least something learned or improved, it was an accomplishment for them. My goal was to give them a positive attitude about music.
1) this isnt an orchestra, its just strings. 2) there is no WAY these players are grade 7/8. I conduct a junior orchestra of about grade 4/5 standard, none of my kids are super talented but they make this lot look like theyve just picked up their instruments!
@dontevenstartme If you are a conductor, then you know there are countless string orchestras in the world. They couldn't possibly all look like your group. This is in a public school orchestra in a small town. And yes, in fact, it's still called an orchestra if it's just strings. Usually, it is qualified as a string orchestra. I have a Master's degree from a conservatory. I'm not an idiot (even though your comment seems to imply that I am)
So thank you for your rude and unprofessional comment.
don't take these lame ass comments seriously flutelity
