To join orchestra, you just need to put in your request- Beginning Orchestra. If you have played previously and would like to audition for a higher level ensemble, please contact Mrs. Wallin.

  4. Orchestra is a group activity that we practice together in class and perform together. You get to make friends and learn together.  

 

Beginning Orchestra Instruments: 


Violin: The highest sounding instrument and the most popular (and we need a lot of them!)

 

Viola: This instrument looks like a violin but has a lower sound like a cello. We need a strong viola section for the orchestra to have balance.

 

Cello: The cello has range of the human voice and you sit while playing it. It is the second most popular instrument in orchestra.

 

Bass: The foundation for orchestra! We need a few strong bass players. Bass players also have the opportunity to play in Jazz Band.
