    I bet half of the people watching this are looking for real life examples that aren’t played by experts for their next concert. I’m one of those people.

    That orchestra is big for sixth grade. When I was in sixth grade, we only had about 16 people in class. Two viola, six cello (me included) and the rest violin. The next year when we learned this song it dropped to like nine people in class. I can’t believe it’s such a big orchestra

    @-Luhvv_. Před 4 měsíci

    Currently learning this song as a 6th grader, my concert is in 11 days, and I’m playing as first violin 😍((We’re not ready)) the hardest part is definitely the pizzicato part. It’s such a fast part, and my friends definitely speed up doing it as well and have trouble with the dynamics. And once we jump back from the coda, we speed up as well. And I’m sitting there trying to keep up lol
