The West Bellevue Orchestra Invitational is a celebration of our orchestra programs in the West Bellevue neighborhood. The event is informal, but a ton of preparation goes into the event so that our youngest orchestra students get a glimpse of what their musical futures look like as they continue to study orchestra in the Bellevue School District.
As a current elementary school muisc teacher myself, I take immense pride in teaching beginning orchestra. As students move on to middle school orchestra, they are given new challenges and opportunities to refine their skills. When they reach high school, students learn to perform with a more mature sense of expression, utilizing all their technique and skill acquired over the years.
I look forward to this year's zoneconcert. The event usually brings in a few hundred orchestra students and their families, and it is one of the most special times of the year for music in our school district.
