Musicianship notes
There are no musicianship notes today, and that's because ----> we are now officially done with musicianship!!
As of today there will be no more workbook assignments! Instead, we will be using the beginning of each rehearsal to even better prepare for the concert, just as we did today with imagine. (prepare yourself!!)

I am so proud of each and every one of you who has made a true effort and has learned musicianship with me.
I really enjoyed teaching musicianship to the smart, enthusiastic and cool kids that all of you are! A great honor indeed.

Some notes after all - 
--some of you asked if you may still continue working through your workbooks and the answer is - yes, of course! That would be just awesome. The more you learn the more you know! (Simon however will not be able to mark your work...)
--during the next rehearsals I will ask you to come with me so I can see what kind of knowledge you have gained throughout the year. This helps us Cantabile staff know where you're at, and it also helps us find out if there's anything we can do to help you progress and to improve our musicianship program.

I believe that's it guys.. Can't wait to see you next week...
Ron

Rehearsal Notes
Dear Intermediate,

We're almost there! You have one more rehearsal next week, and then it's dress rehearsal on May 15, and then concert on May 16! At this point, you should be practicing all your music. Please make sure that everything is memorized and ready to go, but particularly these three songs in this order:

Sesere Eeye (with energized moves!)
Bedu Pako
Doraji

I'm looking forward to showing you off on the concert!  :)
