The Placer County Youth Orchestra

Just practice.....

Auburn Symphony and the Alpine Symphony

Have you ever had someone who really influenced you? Our band teacher John Rinaldo was that for me. He stuck the string players in the jazz band and turned that group into an award winning group. I learned to write music, transpose,improvise and play jazz music in addition to the classical training I had. He hollered at us and he was gruff, but we loved him. We also knew he cared for us. Thank you Mr. Rinaldo!

A musical smile for Tuesday.....thanks to Music Through the Night for sharing.....

When I was young I got to be in a Concert where Jack Benny showed up! He even played the concert Masters violin. This is Jack with renowned violinist Dylana Jenson when she was just a little girl. All musicians start somewhere. I love that we get to give a platform to young musicians to foster a love of great musichttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdQa-TaQvPs&t=320s

What were you doing at 9. While not everyone plays harp like this at 9, young people have an amazing capacity to learn music if given the inspiration and training. We will be starting our season on September 22 ad 23....see you there!!!
