Heyoo, For those of you you may not know, I am involved teaching a Musical Theatre Class at another company. We can't currently have live audiences, so what we're doing instead is filming our plays and showing them virtually. If you're interested in watching me do a bit of acting you can watch the musical here!:
Hey all, I've just spent a few hours uploading the recordings for book 2. You'll find them under the menu on the front page. Book 1 is under red book tracks on the main page. They are an internet link so I will eventually make a menu page for that as well.
You've been progressing well, each week is more fun than the last. Senior band has recorded several songs, just in case we don't have a chance to do a live concert. Intermediate Band has concluded the lesson part of their books and is now moving on to concert pieces. This week we were challenged to work on 113 Stars of the Heavens. The goal is to be able to play it quickly and correctly. Beginner Band Work up to page 25 focus on learning the new notes. Remember that the name of the note is not as important as knowing the fingering. Brass players need to think the tones in their head to find the correct tones. The recordings are extra helpful here. Hello all! this piece is another cool one featuring versions of the clarinet you may not have ever seen before! 10 points available. (plus 4 bonus points if you can identify the non-clarinet instruments) Please use the form this time instead of commenting, we'll try this and see if it's better. This piece is called Children's March, by Percy Grainger. It was recorded at UBC in Vancouver in October, so you will note they are physically distancing. And this is a university you could very well be a part of in the future without even leaving Canada! Entries are closed: Here are the answers, 1 Eb Clarinet (far back centre stage) 6 Bb Clarinets 1 Alto Clarinet (farthest to the right) 1 Bass Clarinet (sitting in the low chair next to the Alto) 1 Contrabass Clarinet (on the high stool next to the Bass) 1 Stand (tapped) 1 Stage (stomped) 1 Keyring (jingled) Whistling |
