The cello on the left continues to repeat his melody from the last section while the one on the right changes to a shorter melody that he repeats throughout the section.

Use Somebody - 2Cellos

The melody is conjunct because the range is not that large.
The meter is D-S as it plays in 4/4 you can hear it in the main melody.
The tempo is allegro because you can feel it when counting the tempo.
The texture is light because there are only the two cellos playing.

this year

I'm proud of my growth since the begging of last year to the begging of this year to the end of this year. Beacuase I know I have grown alot since the begging of this year and that I have grown alot since I first started orchestra at the IA and I'm proud of the growth that I have made.

I feel that the ansamble has improved on alot compared to the begging of the year. More people are counting as well as looking up to get out of there music. There are less open strings being played. Over all the orchestra has begun to play more musicaly, they adding virbarto, queing, counting, and paying alot more attention to dynamics makeing the music we play sound alot better to how we were in the begging.

For the ensamble I am most proud of our last preformince especially galloway. The preformince did a great job of showing how we have grown and I think it turned out great for our last preformince of the year.
