Lots of reflecting on the concert today. A professional recording is made of the concert and the cd is playing as the kids walk into class today. They are all very excited to hear themselves playing the music they've worked on all semester. There was some time devoted to some sharing and reflection as a group. As we listened to the pieces, the students filled out the formal reflection sheets. There were extra scores for some of the students to follow as they listened. In cadet orchestra we were able to listen to all of the pieces, but with the concert and symphony orchestras we only got through about half of the music. The resources at York are amazing. I don't know any other programs that are able to professionally record the concert for their students and offer CDs for purchase. Because there is an upcoming chamber concert, I also worked with some of the chamber ensembles.
