Private lessons, group practices, repetition; all things that Junior Beth Wiesendanger participated in to adequately prepare herself for her final performance of the semester.

SF State student, Natan Rodriguez's piece "Moon Cycle (Phase 1)" is what Wiesendanger and three other SF State students performed on Monday Dec. 14, 2009.

Wiesendanger, a Music Performance major, plays classical percussion instruments. Her instrument for her final performance is the marimba. She not only practiced with the other musicians in the piece, but she also had a private lesson the day of the performance.
