[Rachelyne]

[Jennello132]

@Rachelyne aha yeaah especially if its being sight sead

[Rachelyne]

@Jennello132 Thank you for the comment. Yes, now, few years later sounds slow to me too. I guess you meant their teacher not there!!!!!lol

[Jennello132]

@Rachelyne your welcome!

@Cheezpuf88 some people haven't been playing as long... my 7th and 8th grade orchestra are playing so we got music.. plus, perhaps there teacher wanted to take it slower but i agree it is pretty slow. Lastly if you have a word that begins with vowel you should put an.. not "a" before the word if necessary aha i always catch grammatical errors.

im in 6th grade and i played this piece in my gt orchestra.

1. you are playing it waaaay tooo slow.

2. shifting, as geoskull was trying to say, should not be MESSY! if you shift messily you arent a "advanced player"

3. honestly, this piece is easy. and i mean 1st violin part really fast is easy.

this is such a crazy loud and insane song, your taking this way to slow making it sound less like an adventure and more like your watching an adventure on tv. speed up guys!

i'm in 7th grade and i play this song. its pretty good that my class and the 8th graders can play it being it is a high school peice. and i play 1st violin. but this is good.
