    TVYS Mission Statement 

    The purpose of Temecula Valley Youth Symphony is to enrich the lives of student musicians with outstanding educational and performance opportunities for all levels, in a nurturing and challenging environment without discrimination. Working together with parents, private and school music instructors, TVYS will provide the finest possible training with rehearsal and performance opportunities to enable the students to develop, share and further enrich their lives through the power of music. TVYS believes that music is proven to enhance student performance in all academic areas.

     Some Student - Teacher Resources from Dr. Mann 

    A quick reminder:Always bring your music and your PENCIL to rehearsal. 

    Practice Routine: 

    Remember - practice the scale for each piece before you play the piece. 

    Check the sections that give you trouble - practice them slowly first, then gradually speed up to the performance tempo. Be patient with yourself! It might take several tries to get "up to speed" 

    Ask you teacher for fingerings! 

    Use the recordings  (below and on our video page) to listen and understand how your part fits into each piece! 

    Here is some of our current music list with audio or video demos! These videos may help you when practicing. A tip - on YouTube, you can use the settings to have the video play at a slower speed - which can be really helpful!

    HIGHLY recommended resource for students, teachers, and pros! "Practice to performance" - by Elizabeth O'Bannon (AKA "Vera Violin")

    Sample AUDIO TRACKS - Current Repertoire (you may download! More will be added as available)

    VIDEO/AUDIO Examples of current and recent repertoire

    (play along and practice! - some of these are live performance, some show the score, and some are just audio with a picture - but still great to play along...)

     

    Themes from Scheherazade - follow along with the SCORE!
