"Castles Burning" - Having fun from the 1st read

When this group started "Castles Burning" I demonstrated both the solo and the duet part with the orchestra. Each student decided which of the RH, LH, Both Hand, part from the solo or duet they wanted to read 1st. They took a couple of minutes and picked voices they felt worked with the part they'd picked and away we went. You'll notice only Seth tried both hands, Callie played the chord shells in different octaves and split the keyboard with different voices. Jessica played the LH from the duet and the other students played RH from either the solo or duet parts. Together they had a blast, they created something that was their own as a group, all the while they were sight-reading.
