2. Practice!
Since we have missed a few days of class, we need to make sure we are staying on top of our music! I hope that you have all been practicing all of your music in your free time. Particularly for this assignment, your focus is to practice Irish Tune from County Derry. Below are your assigned parts:
Brass:Beginning- 36
Woodwinds:
We encourage you to practice with a tuner to make sure your long notes are in tune!
I made up the measure numbers for the purpose of this assignment. In a real situation, I would have the score and use the real rehearsal numbers.

3. Listening
Along with practicing your specific parts in Irish Tune from County Derry, we want you to listen to a recording of the piece and think critically about where your part ties in to the piece as a whole. To begin, listen to measures Make sure to follow along in your music! Below you will find a link to a recording. Measure 55 begins around 2:35 on the video, but it might be helpful to listen to the entire piece!

4. Assignment
