Solo and Ensemble 2014-2015

Who? All instrumentalists are required to perform in solo and ensemble. ALL STUDENTS are required to perform at least a grade level 3 solo or higher on their primary concert instrument. What? Solo and ensemble is a great opportunity for students to showcase their talents. Students will play for a state certified judge and a professional on their instrument. The student will receive feedback and a rating from the judge. Solo and ensemble is more about the journey than the product. Each student will grow as a musician through the entire process. Where? District 14 MPA will take place at John I Leonard High School When? February 6th OR 7th, 2015 Students will need to select literature and sign up by October 31st. Accompanists Students that need an accompanist will be assigned one by the band director. Students may also choose to use their own accompanist. Each student with an accompanist will be required to practice with their accompanist at least two times before the actual performance. Additional rehearsals will need to be arranged with you and your accompanist. Accompanists typically range from $40-$50 for two rehearsals and a performance. Students will start rehearsing with accompanists when we return from the holiday break starting in January. Grading Each student will be required to perform their solo and/or ensemble for grade before we leave for the holiday break. Students will play their music for me the week of December 15th. Accompanists are not needed at this point. Students will also be required to play their solo in its entirety (with accompanist if needed) for a final performance grade within the weeks leading into solo and ensemble. Private lessons It is HIGHLY RECCOMENDED that students play for a private lessons teacher. This will give them one-on-one instruction from a professional on their instrument. This is a highly valuable experience and one that should be sought after by ALL students. Students should talk with their private lessons teacher about what selection they should play for solo and ensemble. Music There will be a hard copy of the music list that will be kept in the library. The list will be separated by grade level. There is also an electronic copy of the list that can be found at http://flmusiced.org/fba/dnn/Music-List/Solo-Ensemble Attached to this paper is also a small list of suggested literature. You are welcome to peruse the band library for other music but please do not take any originals out of the library unless approved by the band director. If you have private lessons teacher, please consult with them about your literature choices.

Smart Music Students are encouraged to get the Smart Music program. You can go to www.smartmusic.com to find out about the program. It’s a great tool to help you prepare for S&E. Smart Music has recordings of many of the pieces as well as the piano accompaniment. This way students can play along with the accompaniment on smart music. Smart Music will also record and give you feedback on your performance. I will go over how to use the program in class in the next few weeks.
