 The 2011-2012 school year with be the ninth year that TEMS has had a Chamber Orchestra.  String students who participate in this ensemble like the challenge of not only learning extra music, but also like to learn more challenging music than what is typically played during the school day.  Private lessons are highly recommended for students who participate in this ensemble.  As we rehearse only once a week, it is vital to the success of the ensemble that students commit to practice their music.  You will often be asked to prepare music in advance (learn something ahead of time that we have not yet played).  If you need help, please speak with Mrs. Fausel.  She is available after school, and very willing to help when needed.  You will be responsible to practice, bring your instrument, music and a pencil, and conduct your behavior in a manner that reflects your membership in one of the finest musical ensembles at TEMS.
