CES Orchestra students are working hard on learning to play with their bows! For the last couple of weeks, students have eagerly been practicing correct bow technique in preparation for Mrs. Guhin’s “Jingle Bell Challenge”! To earn the Jingle Bell Challenge certificate, students must play their Jingle Bells solo, with their bow, by Christmas break.
Keep an eye out for some pictures in December of those students who have accomplished this goal!
