Analyze: examine in detail the structure and context of the music. Arrangement: setting or adaptation of an existing musical composition Arranger: person who creates alternative settings or adaptations of existing music. Articulation: characteristic way in which musical tones are connected, separated, or accented; types of articulation include legato (smooth, connected tones) and staccato (short, detached tones). Artistic literacy: knowledge and understanding required to participate authentically in the arts Atonality: music in which no tonic or key center is apparent. Artistic Processes: Organizational principles of the 2014 National Core Standards for the Arts: Creating, Performing, Responding, and Connecting. Audiate: hear and comprehend sounds in one’s head (inner hearing), even when no sound is present. Audience etiquette: social behavior observed by those attending musical performances and which can vary depending upon the type of music performed. Benchmark: pre-established definition of an achievement level, designed to help measure student progress toward a goal or standard, expressed either in writing or as an example of scored student work (aka, anchor set).

    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted you will find a target note listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in "sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • Learn to Play VIOLIN Method Book Junior Musos: Preparatory Stage 2A Second Edition
    LEARN TO PLAY VIOLIN METHOD BOOK Junior Musos: Preparatory Stage 2A Second edition The Learn to Play Junior Musos edition is a Wendy’s Music Program introducing children to the basics of playing their instrument. This book is the second level in the series. This book is part Tof a unique Wendy’s Music program which includes: Learning to play: practical with correct techniques. Performing: achieving a level of playing and confidence to perform independently or with others for an audience. Theory: reading, writing, and understanding music notation fluently. Ear training: developing the ability to listen and understand musical content and performance issues. Creating: via improvisation and composing. All concepts are introduced in a simple manner with performance, theoretical, aural, and creative review, which enables each concept to be thoroughly understood. A variety of musical styles are incorporated in the music used in this series. By the end of the program, participants should feel equipped to proceed in any or all musical styles as they prefer. By now you should have discovered that a small amount of time spent, as many days of the week as you can manage, makes learning to play music easy. Time with concentration on improving allows skills to develop. Keep experimenting with creating your own music, using the “create” exercises and ideas, whilst also spending a little time developing your ears with the “listening” examples. Flashcards, sight-reading, written review and other exercises which make reading and making music easy are also important to spend a little time on regularly. Continue motivating yourself by ticking and crossing with your teacher the “play at home boxes” and see how much you have achieved already! In Stage 2 you will be introduced to more rhythms, notes and chords to play in a variety of techniques.
