Payment arrangements are made between parents/guardians and the Music Tutor. Lessons are invoiced on a per term basis, unless otherwise negotiated with the Music Tutor. Each term’s lesson fees must be paid in full by the end of Week 2 each term. Failure to pay will result in lessons being ceased until payment has been made in full. Please note that parents/guardians are liable for upfront payment for the whole term, unless previous arrangements have been made with the Music Tutor. Student expectations Students are expected to practise regularly to develop skills being taught in the lessons. Students must arrive 5 minutes early for their lessons, and be fully prepared. Students are not to have lessons during Pastoral Care at the beginning of the day. Absence from lessons It is the student’s responsibility to attend their lesson at their allocated time. Music Tutors will seek out a student for a maximum of three times per term: after this, it will be treated as a “no-show”. 48 hours’ notice of a planned absence is required for a make-up lesson to be allocated. In case of student illness on the day of their lesson, parents/guardians are to notify the Music Tutor directly before 8am or the lesson will be forfeited and no make-up lesson allocated. A maximum of two make-up lessons are allowed per term. Ceasing lessons A minimum of two weeks’ written notice to the Music Tutor is required if a student will not be continuing with music lessons the following term. Cancellation of lessons at the beginning of a term will result in a charge of one full term’s fees. Any issues with a Music Tutor must be reported directly to the Instrumental Music Coordinator or Band and Music Teacher. 1021 Gungahlin Drive, NICHOLLS ACT 2913 Email: [email protected] Telephone: 6163 4800 Web: www.jpc.act.edu.au S:\Departments\Music\Cocurricular Music\2018\Contracts\Instrumental Lessons 2018.docx Instrument Music Program Contract 2018 Please circle which instrument/s your child is interested in learning.

  • Tenor Trombone Slide Positions Pdf
    Tenor trombone slide positions pdf Continue READ MORE BACK The contents of the frequently asked questions are the following 17. Do you have a slide position chart that will help me find the right place to put a note slide on the trombone? Because each person has a different way of visualizing where the positions slide the trombone in relation to each other, below are three different slide position charts, which I hope will be useful for those who want to learn the position of the trombone with one valve in F and the second valve in D. The first charts were created by Dr. Jurgen Faisst and shows the slide of the trombone and the location of the positions for notes for the open, F and D valve trombone. This graph (graph No. 1) along with the second graph (#2) by Dr. Faisst, which builds a chromatic scale from the Oberton series for each position, can be downloaded for free (PDF format), clicking on the links below: Download the trombone slide position chart #1 (PDF, approximately 60k) Download the trombone slide position chart #2 (PDF, approximately 44k) The third slide position chart shown below was created by Chris Waage my friend and fine basson player. This is a clear, easy-to-understand chromatic diagram of the position of the slide, which is notable for its simplicity. Download the trombone slide position chart #3 (PDF, approximately 44k) I am grateful to Jurgen Faisst and Chris Waage for giving me permission to display and distribute these slide cards. Here are a few thoughts on the slide position.

This sensate surface is based on conductive users to build their desired controller without changing the inkjet printing technology which allows capacitive sensor geometry of their instruments. We believe that this approach is electrodes and connections between electronics components to an efficient and cost-effective method to create a user interface be printed onto a large roll of flexible substrate that is for music since our platform is highly adaptive and can be unrestricted in length. The high dynamic range capacitive custom-designed by users. sensing electrodes can not only infer touch, but near-range, To achieve this goal, we explore the use of a recently non-contact gestural nuance in a music performance. With this available technology, conductive inkjet printing, as an enabler sensate surface, users can “cut” out their desired shapes, for building low-cost sensate surfaces.
