Fresh start in Spring sunshine

 

NEWSFLASH   ENNIS MUSICAL SOCIETY perform  OLIVER by LIONEL BART  at GLOR
8th -12th March   Sat Matinee

It was back down to work again today after the excitement of our first public performance .

 We warmed up with some open string pizzicato pieces .  (Mr Blakes's class loved the two string reggae.)
  We spent some time on perfecting our bowing rhythm; Win-ter-time-in  Rus-sia.  We worked on  finger placement , string crossing  and  finally we previewed one of the popular     songs  from Oliver

Vivaldi in G pizz
Toreadors pizz     warm ups
Foxtrot

Wintertime in Russsia    bowing work
Athacama Crossing       D to A

Darling River Monkey
Ardnacrusha  Monkey    scales   all fingers down

Practice tips   1 Practice River Monkey starting on D open strings  make sure your fingers go down on tips
2 Practice Fox trot using your bow instead of pizz

Chorus
Oom pah  pah Oom pah pah thats how it goes
Oom pah pah    Oom pah pah  every one  knows
They all suppose what they want to suppose
When they hear oom pah pah !

Good news ! Welcome back to Shauna to Mr Blake's class  . Hurrah , Danielle hopes to have her cast off next week .
