Listening Assignment (8/31/09)

All wind and percussion students in both Concert Band and Symphonic Band have been given a listening assignment. To complete the assigment, the student must find recorded music of their instrument being played by professionals. The assigment gives the student an opportunity to "choose" the sound that they are most drawn to and, as we share these recordings with each other during our sectional time, will provide a wide repertoire for all of us to hear. Since most of what we learn in music is by imitation and since our primary concern as musicians is to make beautiful sounds, it's extremely important for us to have a "superior concept" of our instrument's sound in our ear. Each student has been asked to listen to these recordings on a daily basis. We're "programming" our ears with the very best sounds that we can find!

Students may fulfill this assignment by purchasing a CD, downloading mp3 files and either saving to an mp3 device (such as an iPod), or saving to computer and burning to CD. Contact Dr. Roberts if you have questions about how to fulfill this requirement.
