Middle school musicians in the instrumental ensemble class are gaining confidence in understanding the different musical keys of the various ensemble instruments. For example, while the clarinet is a B flat instrument, the trombone is in the key of C. Students are then able to interpret the correct pitch to play when they are collectively playing in concert C. Using this base understanding, the class has explored playing chord progressions, arpeggios, and playing back a short improvised phrase as a whole ensemble.
We look forward to hearing them play two songs during the All-School Concert on March 21!
