What are three of your favorite moments in the violin literature?\n \nRandom Musical Thought: A modern violin in a historically-flavored work of art is as out of place as if someone were wearing blue jeans.\n \nMain Topic: Rachel explains how to make your own arrangement of a rock or pop song for string ensemble. Includes tips on how to get the tab as a reference, choose your aesthetic, figure out the structure, decide who plays which part, pick a key, experiment with orchestration, add in the “drums,” figure out the bowings, pick a tempo (or tempos), add some dynamics, work on the guitar solos, and get performance-ready.
