Vamos a La Playa

On the third day in Puerto Rico, students got to go to Luciuillo Beach and
hike through El Yunque National Rainforest. Not only was this a well-
deserved break from all their hard work, but it was also a chance to visit El
Yunque's waterfall, one of the seven natural wonders of the world.

An Interview with Dr. Hirsh

Q: What do you enjoy most about teaching orchestra?
A: I just love making music. I also love watching the process of seeing the students who don't know
their parts learning them, and the process of putting it all together.

Q: W hat are the challenges of teaching so many instruments in one class?
A : Students often don't practice their parts. That's really frustrating. If a student doesn't know their
part, they might mess up. Also, students have a tendency to procrastinate when trying to learn their
part. Music isn't something you can learn at the last minute.

Q: H ow do you help make the students better at what they do?
A: y\ major thing is teaching the students that it's all about practice. They have to de\'ote their time to
learning their part and their role in the music.
