Style & Articulation with Katie O’Hara LaBrie

Guided Listening: Sky Suite

There is a method book hidden within the context of this concert piece! While floating through the “Clouds,” “Rain,” “Thunder,” and “Sun,” this multi-movement work focuses students on music literacy. A-, D-, and G-string notes are introduced one movement at a time. Throughout each of the movements, students will explore different time signatures, tempi, and bow techniques—and then get a chance to put all their knowledge together in the finale.
