Senior Concert Band 10 Course Outline
COURSE: SENIOR CONCERT BAND DIRECTORS: Ms. Frederick and Mr. Schnellert
METHOD BOOK: Accent on Achievement 3. Some songs will be grade 10-12.
MATERIALS: •Instrument in working order •3 Reeds (if needed) •Method Book • Pencil • Binder or folder with Sheet Music • Also, bring your positive team attitude and energy!
INSTRUMENT STORAGE: Instruments MUST be in a cabinet. Stick a label with your FULL NAME and GRADE on your instrument so that it “stands out”. Clarinets and Flutes; store instruments in your locker or backpack.
CONTENT/ROUTINE: Every week, we will work on about 5 lessons from your method book, and post them in this website in the "Classes" links. This develops musicianship through 1,200 scaffolded lessons from 7-12. This will be the foundation of your skill development, as your directors will give "intensives" including theory and technique, based on these exercises. Each class, we also rehearse our songs, and you’ll have home practice assignments, posted on this website under "Classes".
ONLINE SUPPORT: REHEARSAL TRACKS: Students should find their ACTIVATION CODE found on the inside cover of the Essential Elements Method Book, and go to myeelibrary.com/
PARENTS: Support learning by having your son/daughter(s) perform both their Method Book exercises, and their Songs - to our online rehearsal tracks - posted in the "Classes" links.
HOME PRACTICE: Gradually, you will become an amazing musician, one small step at a time, if you practice. MINIMUM is 1.5 hours per week. You must keep track of your practice sessions your Method Book, and parents will sign. Try at least two 45 minute sessions a week.
PERSONALIZED: If you want more challenges, we will give you more solo music with CDs to accompany (like karaoke), and we encourage you to sign up for Senior Jazz, and/or combos.
EVALUATION: 90% “Classroom Performance” 10% is “Concerts”. Plus, students have the OPTION to perform portfolio playing tests that are customized for each student, in order to boost the formative standing before report cards, and/or, if the directors "strongly suggest" that students prepare a portfolio. This option is usually exercised by students who need to have very high grades to support their overall GPA, and post-secondary goals.
