All around Mrs. Speltz
Our Orchestra conductor, Mrs. Speltz, is having more social outings events for the kids this year to make orchestra a lot more fun. Here is one of these outings:
La Canada Bass group joined the LA BASS Master Day:
Students brought their basses and went to play with the Masters: There were different workshops for both less experienced and more experienced students. The students spent an hour with each of the 4 teachers, two of whom teach jazz and two who teach classical. Everyone played, and at the end of the day students and masters played a mass bass choir.
The workshop took place at Santa Monica high school. It was a great success and was attended by almost 50 students, who were proud to play with the masters. Click here for picture for picture.
