Norc, do you know around what standard your orchestra is? I play in an extremely small school one and a local area one that I go to on Saturday mornings. The Sat morning one has lots of different ensembles and we perform in various termly local concerts.

yes, obviously, i was thinking of people who gt the plecter out as soon as they start and it sounds awful. still prefer fingers but if you're good with plecter of course, why not. pick=plecter/plekter

i am at a fairly large school, not huge. the youth orchestra varies. sometimes we're really good, we're supposed to be the best of the youth orchestras, but there is a lot of young people now so not the level we want to be. but after, the creme d la creme of that orcehstra plays in a camber orchestra and we're pretty good (we played that plink plank plunk piece). also the summer orcehstra gathering the level was quite high. we had some russians over from Arkanghelsk and three different orchestra, A being beginners, B being the middle one and C being the one's who've played the longest (i am guessing 6 years+, although they look at what pieces of music you've played when choosing what orcestra to out u in). in the summer thing we played the Holberg suite by Grieg for instance, so the level is quite high Smile

Dayum. I play clarinet currently at my local area one and we're... terrible.

If this works, click the link below and on the player, the third one down labelled "Intermediate Orchestra - Farandole from L'Artisienne Bizet" The clarinets don't sound too bad (you can hear us more clearly at about 0:35) but it's extremely cringey. The flutes are really bad Nod

As much as its not my style at all, this dude is probably one of the best in terms of picking technique when it comes to speed, however I dont often feel much when listening to him play.

It's not exactly our best performance. This year we got a new conductor who used to conduct the Junior String ensemble, so it's been quite a change. We've done a Titanic arrangement and a James Bond theme arrangement as well as some more classical pieces like Music for the Royal Fireworks (Handel, I think)

No ensemble of people your age will sound all that good, you've all just begun playing! In a few years things will start to sound much better. Good to set a high bar but it takes time.

When you shift positions to reach the higher notes it sounds a lot better than I do.

I've been playing violin since I was 7 but I took a while to get the hang of it since it was my first musical instrument. I've been playing clarinet for two years now.

Haha, no. His playing was certainly interesting but it's not quite my thing either.

Think his aim is more to show what people can be capable of. Certainly does that. I try and approach things from a more melodic point of view though.
