More pics

Again from Liu Meng, THANKS!

Studio Orchestra Week 4

This week we will begin playing some of the music you suggested. Let us know if you have more ideas.

Monday Wednesday Class

I thought we'd start with Know Your Enemy by Green Day. Catchy tune for sure, but I'm not thinking a straight cover-- I think we may try mashing it up somehow with this song. Maybe have our rappers write some original lines over the riffs. Not sure about what we'll play on Wednesday yet.

Tuesday Thursday Class

I'm thinking we'll start with Maria Maria by Santana. Y'all have come up with lots of cool ideas, and we will be trying many songs in the next few weeks. Not sure about what we'll play on Thursday yet.

Pics from Last Wednesday

Liu Meng took some pics and emailed them to me to share on the blog. If anyone else takes some pics I'll put them up, too.

Studio Orchestra Week 3

This week we will be playing music of Bob Marley.

Three Little Birds

Stir it Up
