“Clef Notes” #11–April 28, 2020 Updates for WSHS Orchestra students and parents Hello, WSHS Orchestra Students and Parents! For Now 1. TEAMS. All of the students are in the WSHS Honors Orchestras TEAM. Students use their SCS email account to access TEAMS (their student [email protected] ) 2. I’m still sending an enhanced Teen Strings: Tip Sheet to the students’ email inbox twice each week. It’s also posted under the Resources page. 3. FREE: SightReadingFactory Go to www.sightreadingfactory.com/student. The student code for us is 87etfv. 4. FREE: SmartMusic Go to https://admin.smartmusic.com/join The class codes are: Advanced Orch: 6th period: RTNMM-74QE3 Intermediate Orch: 7th period: QMWUM-CENZL 5. What’s New on our website: A video about the inside of your instrument, links to Strings Magazine’s Shutdown Skills Series, and information about Fine Tuners. For the Third Quarter Grade Improvement The Shelby County Schools are offering a Third Quarter Grade Improvement Assignment to all students. This assignment can improve the Third Quarter grade from 3 to 5 points. For students who already have an A in the quarter, this will probably not affect your final grade at all. For a select group of students, these points can affect your third quarter grade (moving from a C to a B, for example). If this Third Quarter grade becomes, in essence, the Second Semester grade, then 3 to 5 points may make a difference on your final grade, too. Please look at Powerteacher and see if it can help you, and then read the attached instructions to take advantage of this opportunity. For the Fourth Quarter 1. We will gather (on TEAMS) on Monday, May 4 at 7:00 for a Senior and Awards Concert Presentation. Downloadable programs will be available. So, download, register, sign up, update, whatever you have to do, get ready for our TEAMS meeting now! For Next Year Auditions for the Advanced Honors Orchestra closed on April 27. If you were unable to submit the audition on time, please let me know about your circumstances to see about rescheduling an audition. Auditions for the Memphis Youth Symphony Program are open (application deadline extended until April 30). The auditions will be online this year. Information is on the Auditions page of our website and can be found here: https://www.mysp-music.org/ There are a lot of uncertainties right now. What I do know is that, when given the opportunity, we will play together again. www.whitestationorchestra.weebly.com |
