Repertoire module

Picture







​


​



​You have already made solo rep picks. If not, you should feel slightly shamed.

Solo Rep Rubric:
Solo literature presentation:
:Research the assigned works and composers (PDF of the solo is included under course files "Solo works")
Please include the following criteria in your presentation. Please provide a power point, Prezi or AV presentation.

Please consider the following:
  • composer dates, historical background, style, genre and other notable or significant works (solo, chamber, symphonic).
  • Who premiered the work?
  • Compare this composer to others you have played on your instrument from the same time period/genre (trombones players - what other works are similar in difficulty and demand to the assigned work). 
  • Stylistic elements - how does this work contribute to the repertoire and where it might "fit" in a course curriculum?
Using the PDF - annotate for the class, elements of difficulty and or interesting technical demands or challenges that this work might present for the performer. 

You may provide a Youtube link of a "noteworthy" performance if available. In addition to your video upload, also upload an outline of your presentation to Canvas.

Trombone Majors - you should select supplemental works found under the file “trombone majors” in the file section of canvas.

Consider this a teaching interview. You are in your second day of on campus interviews for a position as an applied faculty at the University/conservatory.

You have either 1) spent a fair portion of your career playing professionally and are being interviewed for a full time tenure track position, or 2) you have recently completed your DMA and this is your first full time teaching interview or 3) you are the principal player in an ICSOM orchestra and you are interviewing for an adjunct or lecturer position. A portion of the interview involves a "micro teaching" 
assessment.

Canvas instructions:

​Pick one solo found in the “Files” section of Canvas - Solo Works file - please be sure no one else has chosen your selected compositions.

Research the works and composers (PDF of the solo is included under course files "Solo works")
Please include the following criteria in your presentation. Please provide a power point, Prezi or AV presentation. - Submit your file or your link to your presentation in Canvas.

Composer dates, historical background, style, genre and other notable or significant works (solo, chamber, symphonic). Who premiered/commissioned the work? Compare this composer to others you have played on your instrument from the same time period/genre. (trombones players - what other works are similar in difficulty and demand to the assigned work). 
Stylistic elements - how does this work contribute to the repertoire and where it might "fit" in a course curriculum?

Using the PDF - annotate for the class,
  • elements of difficulty and interesting technical demands or
  • challenges presented for the performer.
  • range considerations
  • musical moments with an ear for programming (intro, middle, post intermission, filler, finale)
  • academic value vs entertainment value 
You may provide a Youtube link of a "noteworthy" performance if available. In addition to your video upload, also upload an outline of your presentation to Canvas.

Everyone in the class will be responsible for the content of your presentation to be included on the "digital binder"

​If you would prefer to present a solo that is not on the file list - please feel free to do so but run it by me first. ​
