A Note to the BRAMS String Orchestra

Let me first say that I hope everyone is safe and well in these "interesting times". I have loaded this website with sheet music, sound files, links for purchasing accessories that you normally have access to at school, method books and music theory worksheets to keep your musical minds in gear and stimulated. "Right click" to download any linked file on this page. That being said, please contact me if there is anything you need that you don't see here. More materials than you might imagine can be sent via email or this website. It is my goal that this page will help to keep all members of our group progressing and focused on the long term goal of becoming a better and stronger musician. I will continue to rotate materials here, so make sure to continue checking in!

PERFORMANCE TEMPO RECORDINGS
Play along with these recordings when you feel that you have your part down SOLID. Use these MP3's at the end of a practice session to see how close you are to the performance tempo. Access the slower recordings just below this section for your at-home-practice sessions first and then work your way up to these performance tempo recordings.
