Grade 12 Advanced Piano Music Curriculum Grade 12: Advanced Piano 1 | P a g e Course Description Introduction The modern musical keyboard dates back at least six centuries. Keyboard instruments like piano and organ represent an opportunity for the player to create complete musical expression – melody, harmony, and accompaniment all together. Large scores for orchestra are often arranged as “piano reductions” to allow performance of large, complex works by a singer player. In the 1800s, pianos made their way into virtually all American homes a piece of furniture almost as common as a kitchen table. In an era before recorded music, if a person wanted music at home, they made it themselves. The terms “album” and “single” originated not in reference to MP3s, CDs, or records, but in reference to sheet music. Students in the RPHS piano class are afforded the opportunity to continue the long tradition of learning music through piano performance. Concepts This course has been designed based on a Spiral Curriculum – all areas of study are practiced at the same time and at each student’s individual pace, yielding the skills needed to be a successful performer on the piano at the individual pianist’s level. Because time is at the discretion of the teacher according to the needs of each individual performer, several areas of this class, including performance, technical development, and composition follow at a pace unique to each individual learner. Course Objectives: Students continue to work in the sequence of piano courses, which range from basic knowledge of keyboard instruments to advanced study in piano repertoire from early music genres to contemporary compositions. Students will also develop technical and performing skills, sight-reading capability, and knowledge of piano literature from early masters to the present. They will continue to solidify a personal repertoire of selections derived from the standard piano literature for use in auditions and performance, stressing technical proficiency and artistic interpretation, and in this course, collaboration. They will also explore modern keyboard use, including electronic instruments and synthesizers. 2 | P a g e Pacing Chart – Units 1-4 # Student Learning Objective NJCCSS Timeline: All Year Students will continue to develop: 1.1.12.B.1 1 - Technical This course has been designed 1.1.12.B.2 Development Proper body and hand posture. based on a Spiral Curriculum 1.3.12.B.1 The fundamentals of effective finger technique, built of patterns – all areas of study are 1.3.12.B.2 common to music such as arpeggios, scales, etc. practiced at the same time and 1.3.12.B.3 Crossover technique to perform certain passages, involving at each student’s individual 1.4.12.B.2 crossing the arms so the right hand plays below the left and vice pace, yielding the skills versa. needed to be a successful Proper execution of efficient hand carry. performer on the piano at the Students will know: 1.1.12.B.1 2 - Repertoire individual intermediate Music from many genres and historical periods, from the 1.1.12.B.2 pianist’s level.

  • Marquetry on Drawer-Model Marionette Duo-Art
    Marquetry on Drawer-Model Marionette Duo-Art This piano began life as a brown Recordo. The sound board was re-engineered, as the original ribs tapered so soon that the bass bridges pushed through. The strings were the wrong weight, and were re-scaled using computer technology. Six more wound-strings were added, and the weights of the steel strings were changed. A 14-inch Duo-Art pump, a fan-expression system, and an expression-valve-size Duo-Art stack with a soft-pedal compensation lift were all built for it. The Marquetry on the side of the piano was inspired by the pictures on the Arto-Roll boxes. The fallboard was inspired by a picture on the Rhythmodic roll box. A new bench was built, modeled after the bench originally available, but veneered to go with the rest of the piano.

  • Piano Manufacturing an Art and a Craft
    Nikolaus W. Schimmel Piano Manufacturing An Art and a Craft Gesa Lücker (Concert pianist and professor of piano, University for Music and Drama, Hannover) Nikolaus W. Schimmel Piano Manufacturing An Art and a Craft Since time immemorial, music has accompanied mankind. The earliest instrumentological finds date back 50,000 years. The first known musical instrument with fibers under ten sion serving as strings and a resonator is the stick zither. From this small beginning, a vast array of plucked and struck stringed instruments evolved, eventually resulting in the first stringed keyboard instruments. With the invention of the hammer harpsichord (gravi cembalo col piano e forte, “harpsichord with piano and forte”, i.e. with the capability of dynamic modulation) in Italy by Bartolomeo Cristofori toward the beginning of the eighteenth century, the pianoforte was born, which over the following centuries evolved into the most versitile and widely disseminated musical instrument of all time. This was possible only in the context of the high level of devel- opment of artistry and craftsmanship worldwide, particu- larly in the German-speaking part of Europe. Since 1885, the Schimmel family has belonged to a circle of German manufacturers preserving the traditional art and craft of piano building, advancing it to ever greater perfection. Today Schimmel ranks first among the resident German piano manufacturers still owned and operated by Contents the original founding family, now in its fourth generation. Schimmel pianos enjoy an excellent reputation worldwide. 09 The Fascination of the Piano This booklet, now in its completely revised and 15 The Evolution of the Piano up dated eighth edition, was first published in 1985 on The Origin of Music and Stringed Instruments the occa sion of the centennial of Wilhelm Schimmel, 18 Early Stringed Instruments – Plucked Wood Pianofortefa brik GmbH.

J.S. Bach became a musician, earning the coveted role as Thomaskantor (the cantor/music director) for the Lutheran church Sebastian of St. Thomas in Leipzig. At St. Thomas, Bach composed cantatas for just about every major church holiday, featuring a variety of different voice types Bach and instruments, and from which his famed chorales are sung to this day in churches and choral productions. As an organist, he was well known for his ability to improvise extensively on hymn (chorale) tunes, and for reharmonizing (1685-1750) older melodies to fit his Baroque aesthetic. Many of these tunes also remain recognizable in church hymnals. Just as his chorales serve as a basis in composition technique for young musicians today, his collection of keyboard works entitled The Well-Tempered Clavier serves even now as an introduction to preludes and fugues for students of the piano.

  • Montgomery Gentry Discography Free Download Tattoos and Scars Tattoos & Scars
    montgomery gentry discography free download tattoos and scars Tattoos & Scars. With all of the comparisons to Southern rock legends Lynyrd Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker, Charlie Daniels, the Outlaws, and so forth, this solid, hardcore rockin' honky tonk duo and their amazing band is an entity unto themselves. Eddie Montgomery (brother of John Michael) and Troy Gentry are equal parts country music that comes from Merle Haggard, George Jones, Wynn Stewart, Dwight Yoakam, and even Hank Williams. At the same time, they play a scorching brand of rock & roll that has everything to do with the aforementioned heroes of the 1970s and the Allmans too because the blues are at the root of everything they do. This is an auspicious debut album, one that not only shows promise, but delivers the goods in the form of great songs written by a host of Nash Vegas' and Texas' finest -- if unknown new breed -- and absolutely tremendous performances. Check the hard rocking opener, "Hillbilly Shoes," with its flatpicking guitar intro supplanted by overdriven fiddles and screaming dual lead guitars. And "Trying to Survive" with its guitar, pedal steel, and piano fills is reminiscent of the feel, not sound, of Tucker's "Can't You See." It's easy to embrace Tim McGraw and a host of others who use rock & roll as way of framing their country music, but Montgomery Gentry don't use rock; they are a rock band who make country music, real country music. Check the gorgeous chorus on "Lonely and Gone" that is commenced with a heavy metal guitar intro only to become a gorgeous mid-tempo ballad.

  • Social and Visual Rhetorics of Appalachian Identity
    The Responsibility of Forms: Social and Visual Rhetorics of Appalachian Identity A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Fine Arts of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Carissa A. Massey June 2009 © 2009 Carissa A. Massey. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled The Responsibility of Forms: Social and Visual Rhetorics of Appalachian Identity by CARISSA A. MASSEY has been approved for the School of Interdisciplinary Arts and the College of Fine Arts by William F. Condee J. Richard Hamilton/Baker and Hostetler Professor of Humanities Charles A. McWeeny Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT MASSEY, CARISSA A., Ph.D., June 2009, Interdisciplinary Arts The Responsibility of Forms: Social and Visual Rhetorics of Appalachian Identity (262 pp.) Director of Dissertation: William F. Condee Appalachians are typically represented in visual culture as homogenized: white and poor. For the rest of the country tuned into to American visual culture, Appalachia is nothing more than America’s backwoods country, crawling with hillbillies, peopled by incestuous families, and stocked with slovenly welfare abusers. In the spirit of recent Appalachian scholarship’s reclamation of Appalachian heterogeneity via challenges to what scholars have referred to as the “Appalachian Myth,” this study examines the rhetoric of Appalachian stereotypes in visual culture, observes scenarios in which they construct external and internal “others,” and theorizes the ways in which images promote prejudice, classism, and gender disparities and deny the existence of richly diverse cultural traditions within the region. The visual ephemera covered in this project are not studied or organized as artifacts in an historical taxonomy.

To date, only one similar study has been identified. In 1963, L.M. Smith completed a study entitled, Bluegrass Music and Musicians: An Introductory Study of a Musical Style in Its Cultural Context. In the conclusion to his study, Smith listed five major characteristics found in the bluegrass genre: 1. “Bluegrass is hillbilly music, played by white Southern musicians for a Southern audience.” 2. “Bluegrass is not dance music and is seldom used for this purpose.” 3.

  • Bruises on the Fruit
    ruises onon thethe fruitfruit B A BRIEF HISTORY OF NIRVANA & THE EVOLUTION OF THEIR MUSIC by Gary Vehar From the moment Nirvana’s landmark CD Nevermind was released, the world of rock music has never been the same. I for one will always be thankful that that album came out when it did, slightly over a week before my eighteenth birthday. I was a still-wet-behind-the-ears college freshman, away from home for the first time. Just as my life was changing drastically, so was the culture. Music, politics, fashion and art underwent an enormous change as the 90’s sloughed off the last vestiges of the 80’s. Concealed as I was in the quiet town of Ellensburg, Washington, within the tiny confines of my third-floor door room, it was the change in musical guard that first caught my attention. Friends from Seattle regularly brought over dubbed tapes to share with those of us here in college, and among one batch was an advance tape for a band called Nirvana. Nevermind was already causing excitement before its official release of September 24th, 1991. Leaving my friends for the night, I couldn’t get the songs, the sounds, out of my head. About a week later I was in yet another dorm room, listening to a brutish lout rave about the same album. Even at this early date it was obvious Nirvana was crossing all boundaries, even if the fellow who owned this copy (the real CD, this time) made fun of the over-the-top screams that so captivated me.
