Mrs. Olson’s XRDS Music Blog

  Welcome to my blog!  This blog has recordings of concert music for both Treble Choirs,the North Concert Band,  Ear Training exercises to practice and some of my favorite Flute Music.  When posting a comment,  make sure that you are posting under the group you are listening to.   Also  know that you won’t immediately see your comment posted - it may take a day or two.  Enjoy! 

OK, HERE IT IS.  Our first recording.  YOUR TASK: LISTEN TO OUR RECORDINGS AND THE PROFESSIONAL RECORDINGS. THINK ABOUT THE FOLLOWING: NAME ONE THING YOU FEEL WE DID WELL. NAME ONE OR TWO THINGS YOU HEAR THAT WE NEED TO WORK ON. Things to help you when you are listening:{tone, intonation(are we in tune) tempo, articulation(tonguing), balance(who has the melody? and can you hear it)}
