Performance Repertoire Requirement

In addition to the weekly scale requirement, you have until midnight Saturday, March 27, 2010 to receive credit.

You will be assessed according to the Lesson Sheet we use in class. (See the copy in the blog archive - 2007)

Although the use of a metronome is not required, I STRONGLY recommended using one (there is one in the iPas software). Remember - Speed is NOT important, this activity is to develop and enhance your muscle memory. Be aware of which key you are playing in the song.

When calling state your name and instrument. Call (203) 762-8388 X5017.

As an alternative, you may record your performance of the song and email it to me using your computer. This may be done using the iPas software that comes with your Standard of Excellence Book OR using any recording software that is installed on your computer OR using a separate recording device then transferring it to the computer. Attach each scale as a separate sound file, attach them to an email and send it to gordonm@wilton.k12.ct.us.

BAND 3rd Quarter Scale Requirements

You have 1 full week to submit your best performance for each of the scale patterns listed below. Final submission must be made by midnight Saturday for each week to receive credit. Each pattern is worth a maximum of 3 points (1 point = all pitches performed correctly, 1 point = the correct rhythmic pattern was performed, 1 point = the scale pattern was performed at a consistent tempo). Although the use of a metronome is not required, I STRONGLY recommended using one (there is one in the iPas software). Remember - Speed is NOT important, this activity is to develop and enhance your muscle memory.

When calling state your name, instrument and the scale(s) you will be playing. Call (203) 762-8388 X5017.

As an alternative, you may record your performance of the scales and email them to me using your computer. This may be done using the iPas software that comes with your Standard of Excellence Book OR using any recording software that is installed on your computer OR using a separate recording device then transferring it to the computer. Attach each scale as a separate sound file, attach them to an email and send it to gordonm@wilton.k12.ct.us.
