We’ll get you tuned up, toned down and keepin’ the beat the going! If you play violin, viola, cello, bass, piano/keys, acoustic guitar, clarinet, flute, trumpet, trombone, oboe or french horn, then there’s a seat in the orchestra for you!  
Drummers join us last two weeks!  
On July 11, we’ll be listening to you play and deciding which ensemble you’ll be playing in. Orchestra One or Two.  
We’ll ask you to play some notes or a scale and if you have a song or piece you like, you can play that, and then we’ll know whether you should be in the early orchestra ensemble or the more advanced…  
We’ll be meeting twice weekly for two hours each time for 6 weeks and learning fun songs like folk songs, classical, popular and even hip hop songs.   
The Early Orchestra will meet from 10 am to 11:30 am beginning on July 11, then every week on Wednesday & Friday. The Advanced Orchestra will meet from 12 pm to 1:30 pm, then every week on Wednesday & Friday.  

Each group will rehearse enjoy music making for 45 minutes, then have a snack and drink break (and socialize and listen to some recorded music! You get to choose!)  
Then back to work for another hour.   
On August 16th, we’ll have a CONCERT PARTY!

This week I've set myself a goal of arranging at least one new Beatles song for String Trio every day! So far, I finished a new version of With A Little Help From My Friends, which is already published to Sheetmusicplus.com

Cheerful song by the Beatles arranged for string trio...violin, viola and cello. Slightly challenging for amateurs, but great for gigs. Two measure intro, then into the song. And of course, comes with the Score & full Set of Parts.

Today I finished Something. The song, "Something", that is...

It will be up on Sheetmusicplus.com as soon as the staff there checks it out.

Score & Parts for Something, by the Beatles. Arrangement for violin, viola & cello. Great for parties, weddings, and just listening or gigs. Easy to read. Viola trades melody back and forth with violin. Page turns eliminated by keeping the song to two pages. Measure numbers at the beginning of each line. Dynamics and articulations suggested to make it sound more like the original. Some double stops, though not too hard.
