Ooh we’re playing this arrangement in my orchestra this year!

They sound super strong! Nice conducting

I love orchestra but my new school doesn’t have music🙃

Still great so many years later. Wish the cellos were a bit louder, in my orchestra the poor violins gets overpowered by us 😭

Amazing piece, and amazing orchestra!

Did this for my 6th grade end of year, fun asf

Thank you Joel. We have a new compulsory program in Sydney, Australia, and your video has been a great overview of how to connect and combine the many facets of teaching a string ensemble.

I'm gonna play this i'm december! I'm so excited!

I was honestly so confused as a 6th grader playing this 😭

Hi Joel, I am a new orchestra teacher who is worried about being the best for my students. I am a bass player and I really struggle with violin and viola because I am a low strings person. I am worried about my abilities in lessons. I plan on taking lessons myself. I have a great ear and know the technique and know what my violins need but I fear modeling for my 8th grade orchestra as they are far advanced. Do you have any advice? How much modeling is typically done in lessons? This is the part I am lacking the most from student teaching

I play cello and I am practicing for my concert with this

Nice cuffs 😄

I love this piece as well … great job everyone

wow, sounds really good. Thanks for sharing your arrangement. Very helpful. 👍🏼

This came at exactly the right time for me as a band person in my first job teaching band and orchestra two years ago. I really needed as much help as I could get and this video (and follow-ups) DELIVERED! I'm just teaching band now since we've hired an orchestra director, but I'm still going to send this to everyone I know who is teaching strings for the first time.

Me watching this 4 minutes before it starts:

Thank you so much Joel!

They are playing wonderfully

Great performance, especially for a middle school group. Nice phrasing

I am in 7th grade orchestra and i got moved to the highest orchestra group in our school! We are playing this in october for our halloween concert, being in half position is kinda hard for double bass in my opinion but i manage it😅

Cool

Cool

Well put!

I'm a Band Director who is taking on the orchestra program this year. This refresher has been incredibly helpful, thanks for posting! Your beginning orchestra sounds great, as well.

Thank you, Joel! I am watching your videos. You are an amazing teacher!

I am a first year middle school teacher in the Indianapolis region and so excited that I found your channel!! Thank you so much for taking the time for making this video.

Perfect ❤🎉

i know richard meyer irl

beautiful music

my favorite, we played this last month!

Hi there, I remember in one of your videos you mentioned using a drum set metronome app and I can't remember or find which one you mentioned. Is there one you prefer?

I’m doing this. Exact concert today

I’m a singer and pianist, but may need to learn to Teach beginning Strings. This video is amazing! Thank you for your time.

" I'm a bit flat"

I'm the first chair violist at my school, this happens to me a lot

My Orchestra teacher would say " This is school, why don't you have a pencil?"

When I first opened my school viola, it came with a one-centimeter little ball that was "Rosin"

might as well leave the country

QUE CHIVA ME ENCANTO🎉

440 or 442？

I'm the only bass player in our orchestra! And they have 7?!😅

These are MIDDLE SCHOOLERS????

we are playing this to hershey in 2 days im supes excited

Beautiful rehearsal!!! Any chance we could see your warm up routine?

The dynamics are really really good

This is one of the songs im playing at my end of the year concert. Its one of my favorites but we are only doing the 1st and 2nd line repeated

In seventh grade I played this

I feel like I’ve been in that school, I think that’s a high school, not to leak anything but it starts with C, and ends with E, but I don’t know if I’m right

Thank you so much this was great to practice to
