Selection of middle-level music of the highest quality for young, developing musicians should be of paramount interest. The middle level band is blessed with a vast repertoire that can present challenges to both the veteran teacher and those who are just beginning their careers. This course will identify meritorious middle-level repertoire (grade .5 to grade 3). Primary activities will include listening to quality repertoire included in the beginning- and middle-level volumes of Teaching Music Through Performance in Band, discussing and sharing information about additional quality repertoire in the form of annotated bibliographies, and creating a curriculum of music that is based on the menu principle and tailored specifically to the needs of your program.
Outcomes:
Know, recognize and identify significant middle level repertoire in the Teaching Music Through Performance in Band series.
Recognize good performances of literature, providing a means to develop a sense of acceptable ensemble performance.
Evaluate music according to criteria of musical/educational merit.
Apply all of the above to the creation of a core list of repertoires suitable for their individual programs and needs.
