San Diego Homeschoolers - Field Trip Idea - Classical Music Concerts

Attention San Diego Area Homeschoolers

Are you interested in adding music appreciation to your curriculum? If so, then consider attending a classical music concert, sponsored by the San Diego Civic Youth Orchestra. These concerts are held two or three times per year in the north county area. Often at the Brubeck Theater of Palomar College, these concerts showcase a variety of youth orchestras.

The San Diego Civic Youth Orchestra has a "stair-step" approach to music instruction. There are five orchestras, ranging from the Primary level, all of the way up to the Symphony level. Ages range from about 6 or 7 years old, up through senior in high school. As students progress up through the levels, the music gets more and more difficult. The Symphony level plays pieces that are often considered at the college or professional level.

Concerts for Winter 2006

The San Diego Civic Youth Orchestra's Symphony Orchestra (5th and highest level) will perform two winter/Christmas concerts. Dates are Saturday, December 2 at 8pm, and Sunday, December 3, at 2pm at the Howard Brubeck Theater of Palomar College. Admission is $12 General; $10 seniors; $8 students. Arrive early for good seating.

Additionally, four levels of San Diego Civic Youth Orchestra will perform at the Carlsbad High School on Saturday, December 9, 2006 at 1 p.m. Admission is $5.00 per person. Levels performing are Primary Orchestra through Symphonic Orchestra (1st level through 4th level).

All levels of the youth orchestras have been rehearsing all semester for these concerts!

Additional Concerts

This December presents a unique opportunity to watch a live ballet being danced to live music! San Diego Civic Youth Orchestra's Symphony, together with the San Elijo Dance & Music Academy, will entertain you by performing Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Ballet from December 21 – December 23, 2006, at the beautiful California Center of the Arts, Escondido. Admission is $17.50 - $39.00.

These are all wonderful opportunities to watch talented young people perform beautiful music. Who knows – one of your own children may be inspired, and want to join the San Diego Civic Youth Orchestra.

Jennifer Thieme's daughter has been a performer in the Civic Youth Orchestra since 1999, when she started at the tender age of eight years old in the Primary Orchestra. After seven years, she worked her way through each level, and is now in both the Symphonic Orchestra and the Symphony Orchestra.

By Rajeev Dixit   With the world turning into one global village, the need for voice over talents has risen. The global village we envision the world to be has to speak a certain language.

A Review of Musicnotes - Digital Sheet Music Dealer

Are you a musician? Can you find the sheet music you want? If you are anything like me, then the answer is no. Although the town I live in isn't that small, there still isn't a large selection of stores when it comes to music. There is only one small music store that I go to (and only on rare occasions) when I need something immediately, like guitar strings for example. When I want to buy sheet music though, that little shop isn't much help. There is only a small selection of sheet music for the most popular genres and most popular instruments. If you want to play Beethoven piano arrangements then you are fine, but if you want something else then you are out of luck. I couldn't find what I wanted in my area, so shopping online was my only alternative. After trying different online sheet music dealers I finally came across one that I really liked-Musicnotes. This website offered instant digital sheet music and I thought it sounded cool, but wasn't sure
