Welcome!

Hello students!

Welcome to TC Marsh Orchestra blog. I will be using this blog to post writing prompts as we work on the libretto of La Traviata. Please use the resources that will be available here and submit your assignments through the blog.

These writing prompts will help understand the complex characters and plot of La Traviata. When we attend the opera in a few weeks, it will be much easier to understand and enjoy the relationship between the text and the music.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
