Students will learn to make group decisions on all matters of technology issues, ensemble rehearsal and performance.
Students will be placed into ensembles of varying instrumentation depending upon the instrumental makeup of class enrolment. A total of 2 hours of coaching/instruction per week will be given by music faculty. After each performance, the members of each ensemble, aided by the instructor, will evaluate the performance and the preceding rehearsals to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the group’s performance, and discuss means of improvement.
| Assigned excerpts (minimum of four) | 50% |
| Contribution to ensemble (tone, dynamics, balance) | 25% |
| *Participation (attention and attitude) | 25% |
| 100% |
*Grades are based on the instructor’s evaluation of the student’s regular preparation for rehearsals, attentiveness and effort during rehearsals, and musical contribution to the ensemble. Frequently during the semester, certain passages of music will be assigned to be learned for an upcoming rehearsal and will be heard by the instructor. Students are graded on their achievement on these assignments.
Upon successful completion of this course, students should possess an increased understanding of rehearsal and performance issues related to MIDI ensembles, in particular, how to listen to and communicate with each other. Students should be able to identify problems related to technology within the ensemble, and have an understanding of how to address those problems to improve the performance. Students should be able to make group decisions on various matters during rehearsal, including musical interpretation and expression.
Instructors will provide materials for the course, or will provide a list of materials to be purchased.
