Graduation Playdown

September 30th, 2008 by Sarah

Quite a long video - and this was only the violin section of the concert! There was a cello playdown, a flute group, and two soloists who performed as well. Just to explain what I mean by playdown: at the concert, if you are graduating from level 4 (for example), you would be on stage to play your graduation piece, and then all the pieces from the levels below, hence a build up of children performing, as by the end they were all on stage.

Joe was graduating from book 2, so can be spotted about 4/5 of the way through the video, if you know where to look. Still very proud of him :)

    hi there, I found your blog via the exeter youth orchestra clip on youtube. I live in Exeter and my daughters both play the violin (5 and 8 ) and I have been looking for a suzuki teacher for some time. Please would you let me know if there is a group here ?
    Your son plays beautifully ! Thanks so much for any help. We are unable to do Exeter young strings as it clashes with school orchestra.

    I love the idea of the playdown - sounds really fun. Well done Joe. Fantastic achievement and particularly so given the scale of the event.
