Symphonic Band Practice Project
Parents and students,
Good afternoon!
In preparation for our winter concert, students will prepare and perform eight excerpts from ‘A Christmas Festival’ through recordings on Music First. The project is due on Sunday, November 27th by 10:59 pm. This is a pass/fail major grade. Students will receive a passing grade for using a metronome during the performance and submitting all eight assignments. It is at the director’s discretion to give a student a failing grade if quality is not attempted.
Device options:
Computer with Chrome browser (recommended)
iPad with Music First App (available in the band office, but might struggle on school wifi)
Android phone with Chrome browser
iPhone with Music First App (crashes a lot, not recommended)
Instructions:
Follow the directions for each assignment.
Use a metronome at a tempo that is comfortable for you and that will help you be successful. Focus on achieving correct pulse, rhythms, notes, and articulations.
Submit all eight sections for full credit.
