Students are auditioned into the upper two ensembles based on their technical and musical skills, assets and deficits in an effort to ensure each child\u2019s musical needs are being met at the appropriate level of challenge and instruction.<\/p><p>Beginning Orchestra is also conducted at the 6<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0grade level on an elementary campus, however students who wish to begin learning a stringed instrument in 7<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0or 8<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0grade may join the Beginner Orchestra ensemble where we spend the majority of the time focusing on fundamentals of string performance. The Intermediate ensemble, typical level for a 2<sup>nd<\/sup>\u00a0year string student, focuses on musical development and new technique, the reinforcement of fundamental practices, and concert literature preparation. The Advanced ensemble is intended for 3<sup>rd<\/sup>\u00a0year students (or those with more than 3 years of experience), or those who have demonstrated rapid progress and understanding for a 2<sup>nd<\/sup>\u00a0year player. This class focuses on the development of musicality through challenging concert repertoire, with the intent to prepare students for the rigors of high school orchestra.<\/p><p><strong>Each ensemble participates fully in our concert series throughout the school year.<\/strong>\u00a0The Advanced orchestra is often asked to perform at local school or community events. All three orchestra ensembles take part in the annual Richardson Chamber Music Festival and the Spring Festival (typically at NRH2O or Hawaiian Falls). Additionally the Advanced Orchestra performs in the annual state assessment, UIL Concert and Sight Reading.<\/p><p>Opportunities for students to work with master teachers in the form of\u00a0<strong>private lessons<\/strong>\u00a0are made available throughout the school year and summer, and students are all encouraged to take lessons as well as attend summer string camps. Private lessons may be conducted during the school day (during 30 minutes of the orchestra class) to allow for maximum flexibility in after school scheduling. The goal of the Parkhill Orchestra program is provide quality music instruction on a stringed instrument to all interested students, regardless of mental or physical disability.<\/p><p>Please inquire with Mrs. Fox-Wells to secure a private lesson teacher for your young musician.\u00a0<\/p><p>Email:\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:erin.fox@risd.org\">erin.fox-wells@risd.org<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-34e86c0 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"34e86c0\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e46c339\" data-id=\"e46c339\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1489354 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1489354\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Links<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-db3bd84 elementor-icon-list--layout-traditional elementor-list-item-link-full_width elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-list\" data-id=\"db3bd84\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-list.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"elementor-icon-list-items\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/sites.google.com\/g.risd.org\/parkhill-orchestras\/home\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-chevron-right\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Parkhill Orchestra<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.jjpearceorchestra.com\/\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-chevron-right\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Pearce Orchestra<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\/*! elementor &#8211; v3.15.0 &#8211; 02-08-2023 *\/ .elementor-heading-title{padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title[class*=elementor-size-]&gt;a{color:inherit;font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-small{font-size:15px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-medium{font-size:19px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-large{font-size:29px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xl{font-size:39px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xxl{font-size:59px} Orchestra \/*! elementor &#8211; v3.15.0 &#8211; 02-08-2023 *\/ .elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=&#8221;.svg&#8221;]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block} \u00a0Erin Fox-Wells, STARS\u00a0 Teacher Video The Parkhill Junior High School Orchestras consist of three ensembles: Beginner,\u00a0Intermediate\u00a0and\u00a0Advanced.
