DVMTA's annual duet ensemble all came together on Saturday, Feb. 25, 2017 at Mesquite High School in Gilbert. Months of practicing and three weeks of rehearsals paid off for these 386 dedicated students and 42 teachers who participated. What memories were made from these "Magical Melodies"! A new venue for us this year at Mesquite High School in Gilbert worked wonderfully. Dress rehearsal Saturday morning Time for the show! We were fortunate to have magician Craig Davis provide our entertainment in between the groups. What a great performer! He had everyone guessing how he managed to pull off such amazing tricks! Students waiting in the pods and backstage for their turn to perform And, of course, the teachers! Thank you to the fabulous committee for this great event. Hollie Lunt, Joni Walker, Kelli Riding, Charles Newton and Heidi Morris gave so much for such a wonderful day.
Teaching Theory to Younger Students
We welcomed Shelle Soelberg, founder of "Let's Play Music" to present ideas for teaching theory to our younger students. We loved her energy as she demonstrated active participation through whole body movement and song to learn and develop music theory concepts. What a fun way to learn the fundamentals of music! The Cavalcade event this year included a contest opportunity for students to record and share their Cavalcade pieces on social media. Students were awarded cash prizes for the most "likes" and shares on Facebook and Instagram. A wonderful opportunity to get the word out about this great event and share the exciting music of Cavalcade.
