Gearing up for our next recital!

3/16/2015

0 Comments

 
We are in talks with several venues to host our next recital.  The recital is still a couple of months away but diligent practice will lead to a great performance. 

Remember to single out sections of a song or piece that are particularly difficult, and repeat them over and over.  Practice with a metronome, sing the melodies, listen to the tone, pitch, and volume of the sounds you are producing with your instrument, and play confidently.  Eventually, try to commit the song or piece to memory so that you can express the emotion of the music.  For example, if the song is happy, melancholy, or sad, you won't be able to express that to its fullest potential if you are still reading the notes off of the page.  The notes, the melody, the phrases, have to be ingrained within you, and flow out of you through your voice or fingers.  Your attention cannot be divided between worrying about what note comes next, what dynamics should occur, or thinking "oh no, here comes that difficult measure". The audience will appreciate the time and energy you put into each song, especially if it is played with enthusiasm, focus, expressiveness, and energy. 

More in-depth information on these topics soon...

Thanks,

A message from one of our teachers

Thanks to everyone who participated in my Drum Set 1 class.  I had a great time teaching and playing music with all of you!  It's always a little sad when classes come to an end, that's one of the plights of being a teacher.  There are some students I probably won't see again but I've gained a lot of knowledge and experience from teaching all of you, and I hope I succeeded in making this drum class fun and educational.  My resources will always be available to you, never hesitate to contact me. 
Thanks again!
-Steve
