Question
Do I have to purchase any music from the links sent in the email?
Answer
No, you do not have to purchase any music. The links are included so that you can listen to the audio recordings on either the publisher's website or Youtube. The PDF's of music attached to the email are what you need to print out and bring to camp.

Question
What are all the different attachments? They look really hard - am I really supposed to play them?
Answer
At string camp, we don't only have the students play with other students at their own level. We also combine the different levels together so that the younger/less experienced players have a chance to sit by and learn from the older/more experienced players. The music you received titled "Beta/Gamma/Delta" or "Gamma/Delta" is the music for those orchestra combinations. The music is intentionally a stretch for those in Beta (for the Beta/Gamma/Delta combination) and those in Gamma (in the Gamma/Delta combination). We have found that this is where they learn and benefit the most, by simply picking up on what their stand partner is doing.

Question
Why do I have music for different parts? (i.e. both 2nd Violin and 3rd Violin parts)
Answer
When multiple orchestras combine, we often need to shift the violinists so that they are balanced on each part. Some pieces have only a 1st Violin and 2nd Violin part, in which case we divide the violins in half. Some pieces have more (either 3 or 4) violin parts, and we divide accordingly. Many violin students will end up playing one part on a certain piece, and a different part on another piece.

Question
Which divisi part (top or bottom) should I practice?
Answer
Both! While we do have a tentative roster in place, the seating is subject to change, and so you should be prepared to play either top or bottom. If you would really like to know whether you are tentatively seated on the inside or outside, please email us.

Question
Why is one of my songs missing a page?
Answer
First check your email and see if we are playing the entire piece/all of the movements. The Gamma/Delta orchestra is only playing the First Movement of the Simple Symphony. If you are missing music for a piece/movement we are actually playing, then email us at [email protected] to let us know.
