DeleteKieren Claybon:
ReplyDeleteshadows in the house-
1. In measure 12 I need to remember the rest on beat three so I don't come in too early.
2. In measure 48 I need to make sure that I play the correct rhythm, so I don't get behind.
3.In measure 80 I need to play low 4th finger because that is an e flat.
4. throughout the whole piece I need to make sure to play b flat because that is easy to forget.
5. In measure 47 I need to make sure to count so I don't come in early.
Fright night-
1. In measure 10 I need to make sure to start counting because its easy to get lost after playing the same note repeatedly.
2. In measure 24 I start pizzicato and I need to listen to the melody and count so I don't speed up.
3. starting in measure 27 the violins have the melody for the sorcerer's apprentice and I need to practice that part.
4.In measure 42 the notes have a roof top accent mark so they need to be played louder.
5.In measure 75 at the beginning of the Phantom of the Opera the dynamic marking is fortissimo so I need to use more bow and put the bow closer to the bridge to get a louder sound.
Gargoyles:
1.I need to pay attention to the dynamic markings piece doesn't sound so boring.
2.I need to practice the rhythm at measure 37 so it will sound clearer and more defined.
3. At the end of measure 13 and the beginning of measure 14 there are half rests that I need to count so I don't come in early.
4. In the second ending measure 57 I need to make sure I count the rests.
Shadows in the House:
ReplyDelete1) In measures 17-18, I need to work on the cresendo
2)33-41, This is the "call and response part", I need to work on counting so I won't play on beats of rest
3)Through whole piece, intonation especially with both B and E flat
4)Whenever we have measures of just quarter notes for a few measures like 17-22, I need to make them staccato
5)Dynamics in general throughout the whole piece
Fright Night
1)Measures 1-4, I need to work on intonation. It doesn't sound right which doesn't give it the "fright appeal"
2)Measure 10-20, I need to count so I just don't zone out and play it forever. I also need to clean it up so it actually sounds
3)Dynamics throughout piece
4)I need to get use to the transition into the measure 56(March)
5)Intonation on the Phatonom of the Opera through end
Gargoyles
1)Measures 1-12, make sure I count so I won't continue to keep on playing same rhythm
2)13-19, make sure this section is staccato

4)Dynamics whole piece
