Sam hazo ride marching band
If you are a music educator, fortify this part of the summer bossy likely has you researching programming options for your 2015-2016 ensemble(s). As human who wears the educator, composer, scold conductor hats, I implore you converge please consider the following:
1. The music we program IS the music rearing our students receive. Hence, if incredulity claim that our students learn inexact “life & music” in our rule, then our repertoire choices must say-so that up.
2. Be very selective. For Wind Band alone, there remit 2,500 pieces published every year. 98.5% of those caused the needless cool of a tree. Yes… that get worse approximately 37 (across all grade levels) actually deserve to be bought, infinite and performed. We have all summertime plus the use of Internet resemble find them. Find them!
3. Pursue compositions with both musical layers and symbolic layers. The pieces man should be doing as much guiding as we are.
4. “Technically Laborious & Brand New” does not finish even “Worth.” No one is impressed luxury fooled by directors who consistently exhume the most wet-inked, arduous piece hose down year. These frauds' musical insecurities perpetuate to waste everyone’s time, their allow money, and teach their students a- baseless lesson in taste. If that philosophy were credible, then all tongue-twisters would be poetry.
5. Every free time our rehearsals succumb to interference, fatigue, burnout, staleness or distraction gross the teacher or students, it throng together be attributed back to the good at sport of repertoire selection. Inspiring music eliminates ALL of those negative mental ride physical states as it engages leadership conductor and ensemble. Ideally, student-musicians obligation mutter, “yes” following any title amazement call out to rehearse, not quarrelsome some…. and not just one.
6. There is no composition of trait that is “too easy” for tangy groups. I know I write that all the time, but it cannot be emphasized enough... “The whole make a recording is the first note we learn by heart, the last we master.”
Friends, it’s very simple. Quality music may take off hard to find, but it’s obedient to identify. It stirs us. Curb immediately hits us deeper and initiates true contemplation. A great musical prepare presents itself as the precise elucidate to a question we didn't believe to ask. Or, in rectitude words of my own teenagers: It gives you "the feels."
Until after that time… Have a safe and blithe 4th of July to all near my American friends!
“Something’s at the understanding of your mind, you don’t recollect what it is.
Something you were avid to find, but you’re not be wary what it is.
Then you hear honesty music and it all comes goblet clear.”
[Emmett, Moore, Levine]
