Final Exam Schedule


Take note of your final exam time. I will have passes available 1 day before your assigned playing time, and it is important that you check with your teacher during homeroom so that you will not be late. Bring all required materials with you as you will not have an opportunity to go to your locker during that time.


All day and time requests were honored. Students who did not choose a time for their exam were put into the remaining available time slots. If you have a field trip or other exam conflict, please notify me immediately. I will do the best I can to reschedule.

Final Exam Times/Dates

I've decided that with all the testing, field trips, and other disruptions to the daily schedule, it would be better for me to give you the opportunity to sign up for the most desirable final exam time.


The list of available days and times has been posted on the storage closet doors in the orchestra room.
Please consult your A-pad planner before signing up for a time.


No 8:50am/Mod 1 times have been listed, but they are available if anyone is interested. Activity Period exams can also be arranged, but students should come talk to me about this ASAP.



Helpful Hint: Do not wait until the last minute to sign up for a time. Also, do not put off your final exam until the last possible date in the event of a last-minute conflict.



Students who are not signed up by Wednesday afternoon (this Wednesday -- May 26th) will be assigned a time and responsible for changing it with me at least 2 days before the exam if there is a conflict.


Please come prepared and ready to play!

Chamber Strings

Our concert is less than 2 rehearsals away! Wednesday, June 9th -- the Dessert Concert @ FMS!


For this concert, we will play: O Mio Babbino Caro, Be Boppin' Bourree, and Dance of Iscariot.


Today, we played all three pieces in their entirety and rehearsed sections from O Mio Babbino Caro and Be Boppin' Bourree. I was happy to hear that our dynamics discussions from last week's O Mio rehearsal stuck and made this week's music more beautiful! Also, kudos to the cello section who restrained themselves from pushing the tempo forward (as is so easy when playing staccato or pizzicato) in Be Boppin'. I am hardly concerned with the fact that it is not perfect yet, but rather, am happy that you have realized -- and begun to address -- that weaker area.


Next week I WILL start with Dance of Iscariot. So many good things are happening with this piece! Among them:

  • dynamics (especially impressive in 1st violins)
  • bow location (thanks for staying in the lower half with those dotted/accented 8th notes violas)
  • accents (yay 2nds!)
  • tempo considerations (both maintaining and changing when indicated -- great, cellos!)


In attendance today were:
Alicia Chen
Gretchen Long
William Wang
Bill Dong
Marko Crnkovic
Karthik Ramesh
Catherine Rafferty
Andrea Long
Naila Brown
Katie Yang

Excused because of Earth Science field trip:
Joe Sipzner
Emma Pearson

Absent:
Katie Gonick
Erin Templeton
Arianna Barnum
Gianluca Russo
Rachel Swyer
Cody Ingraham


Students who have missed 2 or more rehearsals should come see me to arrange a time to play excerpts. Because our concert is coming up so quickly and we have had so few rehearsals, it is important that you be keeping up with your share of practicing even when you are absent. A satisfactory performance of the following excerpts is necessary to participate in our concert:


Violin 1:
Be Boppin' Bourree - m5 (take 2nd ending) - 11; m 21-1st ending
O Mio Babbino Caro - m5-9; m57-end
Dance of Iscariot - m29-38; m44-52; m59-67


Violin 2:
Be Boppin' Bourree - m5-12; m16-19
O Mio Babbino Caro - m45-53 (counting rests!); m59-end
Dance of Iscariot - beginning; m38-49; m67-76


Viola:
Be Boppin' Bourree - m11-15; m 23-end
O Mio Babbino Caro - m21-25; m59-end
Dance of Iscariot - m29-38; m42-49; m59-76


Cello:
O Mio Babbino Caro - m17-25; m35-49
Be Boppin' Bourree - m5-13; m23-end
Dance of Iscariot - m29-35; m44-50; m86-end

M3
2 lessons so far (5/3 @ 9:30, 5/10 @ 10:50)
Materials: Minuet in G excerpt sheet, Major Scale Sheet, Orchestra music
Notes: our biggest obstacle is intonation! Pay attention to your tapes, and use solfege to find starting pitches; Kristina, Nihaal, and Rachel have begun to record scales for final exam submission
Most recent assignment: Memorize excerpts #1, #2, #3, #4, #5 @ quarter=60-80bpm for the next lesson. Remember to chant the steady rhythm before using your bow. Continue to practice the F Major scale, and look at Brandenburg "Second Movement" m15-17

M4
2 lessons so far (5/3 @ 10:50, 5/10 @ 8:50)
Materials: Minuet in G excerpt sheet, Major Scale Sheet, Orchestra music
Notes: generally good with key signature identification and finger placement! Practice in front of a mirror to improve posture.
Most recent assignment: Bb Major scale in 2 octaves; Minuet in G excerpts #1, #2, #3 @ quarter=60-80bpm; Minuet in G excerpts #4 and #5 at a comfortable tempo

M5
2 lessons so far (5/3 @ 1:20, 5/10 @ 9:30)
Materials: Allegro, Major Scale Sheet, Orchestra music
Notes: need to develop the back, shoulder, and abdominal muscles needed to hold instrument horizontally. Pitch suffers as a result of poor playing posture.
Most recent assignment: Eb Major scale; finish memorizing Allegro

T1
1 lesson so far (5/4 @ 10:10) and one tomorrow
Materials: Seitz excerpts, Orchestra music
Notes: focus on intonation! Sometimes the "half steps = fingers touching" rule does not always apply. Use your ears to listen for intervals!

Notes: great attendance and very good effort being shown by this lesson group! Remember that accidentals carry through the measures. In Gavotte II, hear sol-mi-do in the key of A major (use do to find mi -- tune mi and sol for double stop), and keep 2nd finger down
Most recent assignment: Eb Major scale in 2 octaves; Gavotte II: m16-18; both parts of Maypole Dance (No. 2, Andante, G Major, cut time)

Chamber Strings

Our spring Chamber Strings performance will be on the Dessert Concert on June 9th. On this concert, we plan to play:

Be Boppin' Bourree
O Mio Babbino Caro
Dance of Iscariot


Today, we worked mostly on Be Boppin' Bourree. When playing in the jazz genre, it is fun to break some of the "rules" of classical music. Some of these rules include:

  • Not adding glissando (slippy-slides) between notes that call for use of the same finger.
  • Playing 8th notes as straight du-de's that can be futher divided into du-ta-de-ta's.


However, in order to break the rules, we must know how to follow them properly. As an ensemble, we had great difficulty playing our parts to a metronome set at quarter=80bpm. As Be Boppin Bourree consists only of eighth notes and quarter notes, playing with a slow metronome tempo should be an easy task. Remember: tempo is in YOUR hands. I can conduct, I can tap, I can count out loud, but what it comes down to is that you must be able to know where you are, where you're going, and how long it takes to get there. Practice with metronomes! I want to be able to break some rules really soon!


In contrast to the hurried tempos in and careless articulations in Be Boppin', O Mio Babbino Caro was really beautiful this week. Cellists are now getting a good sense of what I have been asking for in those measures with 3 notes slurred (and marked with tenutos). We discussed and tried a lot of dynamics in rehearsal. The piece doesn't have many dynamics marked, so we should ask ourselves:

  • Do few dynamic markings mean little change in dynamics?
  • Are phrases marked with dynamics or do we have to add them in?
  • How do I know what is a phrase? (Hint: watch the youtube video of Renee Flemming singing this!)
  • How do I get from one dynamic marking to the next? (crescendo vs. subito)
  • How does my dynamic compare to the markings in other sections?
  • How can my bow help me achieve a good sound at this given dynamic?
  • Is there anything I should write in to remind me of dynamics?


Speaking of bowing, we can also pay attention to when bow changes occur. Are you changing at the exact same time as your stand partner? As your section leader? As your friend in another section?



In attendance were:
Joe Sipzner

Bill Dong
Marko Crnkovic

Chamber Strings

Thank you so much to all the Chamber Strings musicians who participated in the Presidential Awards ceremony on Wednesday by playing the National Anthem! I received many compliments on your performance, and the faculty, staff, and ROTC members who were involved in the ceremony were happy to add live music to their event. I am grateful for your participation, preparation, and the maturity you showed during the performance, and I am impressed with the speed and ease at which you added this new piece to your repertoire.

Monday's rehearsal began with a quick rehearsal of the Star Spangled Banner, moving to O Mio Babbino Caro, and ending with a bit of Be Boppin Bourree. First violinists should start to look at some of the fingerings that are marked in O Mio Babbino Caro as they shift into 3rd position. We use 3rd position in some of our lesson music and in the new Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 ("Second Movement").


Why do we shift? There are a couple reasons why shifting is a necessary skill for string players:
  • To reach higher notes. As we shift "up" (closer to our bridge and further from our scroll), the notes get higher in pitch.
  • To make fingerings more comfortable. In certain keys, notes are more easily achieved somewhere other than 1st position. Think about the biggest stretches you have to make in 1st position. When you move "up" on the fingerboard, the intervals (whole and half steps) get closer together, so we don't have to stretch as much.
  • To achieve a desired tone. As a violinist, I love my E string. It is a bright, vibrant, loud, and exciting string. However, as an orchestral player, the E string just doesn't fit in. It can be too icy, too piercing, and just too different from the strings on the viola, cello, and bass. As orchestral players, our job is to blend: we should strive to create a similar sound, tone, timbre, and quality as the other members of our section and our orchestra. Shifting to achieve a desired tone is what we do when we stay on a particular string for a passage instead of changing to a brighter/darker, thinner/thicker string.
  • To minimize string crossings (or eliminate them completely). When dealing with complicated or confusing bowings, sometimes it is easier for us to shift positions so as to keep our arm level and bowhair contact on the string the same. Shifting to avoid string crossings becomes a special concern when using ricochet or other advanced bowings.
