CONCERT LISTENING ASSIGNMENT
Yyyyyyeah. Here are the three rehearsal recordings today during class. Listen to all three of them and give me a list of 3-4 spots that you will practice in each one (so 9-12 spots total). Be specific with measure numbers and what elements you're going to rehearse on your own....rhythm? Intonation? Style? Dynamics? etc.

In walk this way the cellos need to practice measure 49-53; and in Eleanor Rigby measure 23-33 also needs work.
ReplyDelete-Sam A.
Sam- what specifically are you going to practice in those measures?
DeleteIn Eleanor Rigby measures 5-9 we are rushing the eight notes, we also need to count at measure 9 and 10 so we can improve the transition,and we need to count and work on intonation for measures 19-20 and 33-39
ReplyDeleteWalk this Way we need to also work on the sharp throughout the peice they are relly out of tune. We also relly need to count when we are playing measure 31-34 every one is coming in at diffrent times. At measure 49-52 we need to subdivied because we are rushing.
Smells Like Teen Spirt we need to work on G-sharp alot it is relly out of tune. in measure 21 werelly need to work on dynamics and we cant hear the melodey.in measure 37-41 we relly need to work on counting and intonation.

Walk This Way-
ReplyDeleteMake sure the g # is more extended. •Measures 11-19 is where I need to work on. Making sure I play the right rhythms, adding accents on certain notes and working on articulation.
•Measures 23-30. I need to pay attention to the slurs, so I do the correct bowings. I need to maker sure you can tell a difference in my e# and e natural.
•Measures 34-37. I need to count, so I don't come in early for measure 34.
Eleanor Rigby-
•Measures 1-4. I need to work on bowings and articulation. Making sure it's a c natural instead of c#
•Measures 10-14. Making sure I come in on the and of 3, so I need to count. I need to hold the notes for what they are worth and not cut them off too short.
•Measures 33-end. I need to subdivide because I rush during this sections
Smells Like Teen Spirt-
•Measures 21-27. I need to back off on dynamics because I do not have the most important part. (Tear :'( )
•Measures 29-36. I need to play g# and make sure I put in the accents.
•Measures 37-40. I need to pay attention to the c#'s and c naturals. I need to work on slurs.
In Elanor Rigdy we(THE VIOLAS AND CELLOS)need to work on wmproving our c in measures 1 and2. Also we the cellos need to play up. Whole class needs more Articulation on our notes.

ReplyDelete~Beginning, pickups to seven: I will count off along with playing the notes more precisely.
~In measures thirteen and fourteen: I will start off practicing this slow then pick up the pace.
~Starting at measure thirty four: I will try not to play on rest or rush, but stay at the actual tempo.
Eleanor Rigby
~Beginning I will practice with the song to help me with the rhythm.
~ Measure five I will try not play on the rest and slow my bow speed down a bit.
~Measure thirteen I come in late, so to come in on time on my own I have to subdivide.
Smells Like Teen Spirit
~The first note has an accent so I have to play it loud and proud, because I tend to do the on the second.
~Measure twenty one I try not to play too loud because the violins do not have the melody.
~Measure thirty seven the rhythm changes and I have to remember to play C natural and C sharp.
Smells Like Teen Spirit
ReplyDelete~In measures 37-40: practice the rhythms and intonation.
~Throughout the whole piece: work on counting and the dynamics
~Measure 21-28: play a little quieter because the violins don't have the melody.
Eleanor Rigby
~Since a lot of the piece is repetitive, I need to count better so I don't get lost.
~The first 4 measures need to be played with more confidence
~33-end: we need to subdivide better and stay in tune.
Walk This Way
~i need to pay attention to the accidentals
~Measures 34-37: I need to count because I tend to play on the rests
~The whole piece needs to be played with more confidence!

Walk this Way
ReplyDelete*I need to pay attention to the rests through out the piece because I tend to skip them.
*The piece also needs to be played out more so we can hear each other and tell were everbody is at.
*Pick up to measure 25-27 I need to work on the rhythm and counting.
Smells Like Teen Spirit
*This piece didn't sound very confidently like Walk this Way, so we need to play out more. Plus majority of the piece is fortae.
*Measures 29-40: pratice rhythms and dynamics.
*Measures 21-28: violins need to play quieter because it's mp and we don't have the melody.
Elenor Rigby
*Measures 33-end:I need to sub divide because I tend to get ahead of others.
*Measures 5-9 and 23-33 :I again need to subdivide because I rush through the eight notes and the rests,
*the first four measures need to be payed out and play more confidently.

Smells like Teen Spirit:
ReplyDelete1)counting so we know when to come in in measures 9-21.
2)Rhythm in 21-29 is not togehter.
3)In measures 37-41 the accidentals are sounding really bad or just not played at all.
Elanor Rigby:
1)From 5 to 15 I need to count so I will know when to change notes.
2)Work on not rushing in measures 3-4.
3)Correct bowing in 15-23 and 33 to the end.
Walk this Way:
1)practice the accidentals that we see in measures 7-10
2)The rhythm in 11-19 needs to be better
3)The repeats in 52 and 53 throw me off with how many times i need to play the pair of sixteenth notes.
-Joseph Hubbard
Walk This Way:
ReplyDelete-7-11 (and all measures that have the same repeating part) need to work on intonation, style, and speed of the part
- 11-19 i need to work on the intonation and rhythm of the part and also play LOUDER so you can hear it
- 23-34 this part needs to be played louder and we need to make sure we play all accidentals
Eleanor Rigby
- 1-5 play louder and make sure intonation is right
- we need to count before measure 14 so we come in on time
- we need to count in measures 23-33 so we start playing together in measure 33
Smells Like Teen Spirit
- make sure we watch and don't skip the rest in measure 10
- play softer in measures 9-28 and start playing LOUDER at 28
- we really need to work on counting so we come in on time at measure 28
- work on intonation and watch for accidentals
Walk This Way
ReplyDelete* Cello's at measure 11-19 need to be more confident with that part
*At 34 to 38 cello's need to work on the rhythm we are the most important part
*49 to 51 is like 34-38 ... the rhythm and making sure we keep up with where we are
Eleanor Rigby
-1 to 2 are c's could be more in tune
-playing out throughout the whole piece
-23 to 32 needs a little bit of work just making sure everything is in tune
-overall the piece is not all that bad just some tweaks
Smells Like Teen Spirit
~ 13 to 21 (especially me) needs to make sure notes get changed in time and in tune
~21 to 29 sounds very blahhh . I don't think we know the rhythm that well and we play it slower and it sounds bad
~30 to 36 ... the rhythm needs to be worked on and making sure that we keep count
_basically all need rhythm checks and tune checks..._

ReplyDelete- it sounds whiny throughout the whole piece. We need to work on precision and the dynamic markings.
- in measures 21-28 we need to play softer so we can hear the melody
-in measures 37-40 we need to work on the rhythms and getting them in tune
Eleanor Rigby
- we need to work on the intonation on measures 1-4, the c naturals are out of tune
- also on measures 1-4 we need to work on the countings
- in 33 to the end we need to count because we tend to start rushing
Walk This Way
- the accidentals are everywhere!! we need to work on getting those in tune
- we need to play woth more confidence because for the most part we have the rhythms for measures 11-30
- i personally need to work on measures 11-19 because the rhythm is tricky to me

ReplyDelete1. Cellos need to play louder thtoughout the whole piece, i could barely hear us in the recording
2. Measures 34-38 & 49-54 are like non existent in the cello world, only a few cellos are playing and they are playing quietly. It seems like the G sharp it messing us up but if we practice, I believe we can play it!
3.The ending of the piece was kind of off
Elenor Rigby
1. Measure 21 for cellos is hard to hear i think the cellos either don't know how to play it or they choose not to play. I think it sounds cool! (If we could hear it)
2. Measures 26-31 we have the melody! It needs to be LOUDER and we need to make sure we are counting so we know when to come in.
3. Make sure our E is in tune at measure 40
Smells like Teen Spirit
1. Cellos need to be louder throughtout the piece
2. Watch our F sharps especially at measures 9-21
3. Watch our G sharps at measures 21-29
4. As we are playing measures 9-21 our F sharps are getting softer. Be confident!
Walk This Way
ReplyDelete1. Violas need to work on intonation in the first measure we come in. This carries on through the entire piece so it's important to get it right.
2. Not only us but the whole orchestra needs to work on counting at the end because it was very off.
3. Violas need to play louder. I can barely hear us at all. That's through the entire piece too.
Eleanor Rigby
1. In measure 5, the violas and cellos are playing it right. We just need to work on staying together. That might just take playing together as an orchestra to get correct.
2. WE KNOW HOW TO PLAY THIS WHOLE PIECE! WE JUST NEED TO PLAY IT LOUDER!!
3. The part where the lyrics are "all the lonely people" sounds like "all all the the lone lone ly ly people people" were not together at all. To fix this we can work on counting together as a class
Smells Like Teen Spirit
1. The 3rd finger Gnatural and Gsharp are not split up. It sounds very slatural. And gross. We need to work on separating those two notes.
2. 21-29 is a MESS. We have the melody here so we need to play out but also play right. This is the kind of thing where you just need to play it over and over by yourself because the rhythm is so off.
3. In 38, work on playing 4th finger A. Without it it sounds very whiny.
In Elenor Rigby: First, the eighth notes in measure 5 to 9, need to be subdivided so we don't rush. Secondly, measure 39 needs to be more in tune. We should pay attention more to our left hand. Finally, the A's when the violins have the melody is either out of tune( when playing 4 finger) or just played as open A.
ReplyDelete-In Smells Like Teen Spirit: First off, the beginning needs to be more sharp, so we need to make our bows more sharp. Secondly, in measures 13-20 that have the ba-ba-a, I really don't hear it or its out of tune like it was in measure 19 and 20. Finally, when the violins have the half notes in 21-28, we play out way to loud so we can't hear the cellos melody and we need to do the crescendo.
- In Walk This Way: First, when we first enter the piece 7, the A,A sharp, and B are really out of tune. We need to pay attention to out left hand. Secondly, we need to go over the rhythms in measures 11-18 and 23-30. Everyone is just coming in at different time. Finally, coming in at measure 34 was really bad and continued to get worse until 37. We need to pay attention and count our measures when we repeat back and forth from 31-32.
