Active Violinist
I wrote this blog post while thinking about my beginning orchestra students at Longfellow Elementary. It started as me arranging their orchestra music for 4 violins and then, true to form, I couldn’t help digging around and learning a little more and then writing even more about the piece. Hope you enjoy Finlandia in several different arrangements...including mine AND the Indigo Girls.
