This week, we will be working on our concert music in all classes. We are going to get our hands "dirty" this week. "Dirty" meaning that students will learn how to:
- "isolate" more challenging parts of their music, and how to execute practicing effectively.
- Memorization: We will cover "how to" memorize music this week. There are many ways to go about memorizing one's music. In the defense of all of my Learners, I will introduce a simple, and effective way to memorize music for all to understand and appreciate.
- We will continue to work as "Ensembles."
There are THREE parts to preparing for a concert:
- Learning the melodic notes, rhythmic patterns, and dynamics (3 parts to this one!)
- PRACTICE! PRACTICE! PRACTICE!
- Preparing as an ensemble. Balance of sound between all players.
It is a true ART to be able to take a group of musicians, and produce a "harmonious "
blend" of sound. It takes a lot of patience, and focus for both Teacher and Student to be successful.
I am very proud of my students' accomplishments this year. I see, and hear a lot of growth since August. I am excited to showcase all of our talents in December. Have a great week!
