Orchestra
By Alec and Jieun
Have you ever wanted to play the violin? Well, that’s what we do at Richards. But there is more than one instrument you can play. You can play the cello (chello) viola, violin, and bass.
We have Orchestra on Monday, from 10:55 to 11:40. Our Orchestra teacher is Mr. Brodie. We have an orchestra book that we learn from. One of the songs we play is called “Mary Lee”. It is also called “Mary had a little Lamb.” We have also played “Ode to Joy”.
We learn by playing scales and doing boxes. Boxes are where Mr. Brodie makes boxes with three notes in the boxes, You have to play a note three times. A scale is a set of notes that go up and down the strings.
Sounds hard doesn’t it? Well, it’s not as hard as it seems. But as authors say, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.”
