Musicians of all ages and talents are invited to join in our "Summer Sight-Reading Group". We are happy to invite all orchestral musicians to participate in our Second Annual Sight-Reading Workshop. This is being offered as a free event to the musical community of Whidbey Island, and provides a chance to learn how to better approach various types of orchestra music. Develop your rhythm and note skills, understand dynamic markings, phrasings, and styles. Our new Assistant Conductor James Hinkley will lead the group as he presents two different pieces of music every morning, guiding you through each one to help you master all aspects of playing with an orchestra. Learn to play your instrument with pleasure and confidence.
