A. Certain musical elements are essential to any performer whether they perform in band, orchestra or choir. Students in multiple performing ensembles get additional practice with ear training, note reading, rhythm counting and balance/blending an individual sound into a large group. There may be as many as ten students who cross over between PHS performing ensembles in 09-10. B. Students who enroll in a piano or guitar class have an opportunity to study music performance in a different way from their primary instrument. For example, standard band instrument students are only able to play one note at a time. PHS piano/guitar students learn how to play up to four notes at once and read notes on two different clefs simultaneously. This allows students to learn the melody to a song as well as learning the harmonization that outlines the piece.

Pattonville Instrumental Music Weighted Grade Information This cover sheet is intended to provide essential details that might otherwise be unclear to staff and administrators who are not familiar with the PHS Instrumental Music Department curriculum and related activities.

C. Music Theory provides students with an opportunity to study the “behind the scenes” details of music such as how the melody is related to the chord structure, the mathematical relationship between notes in each quality of chord, ear training, etc. Performing ensembles limit the amount of music theory concepts that can be covered in class due to the class sizes, performance preparation demands, etc.

Below is a list of topics related to the proposed point system that would determine whether a student has met the requirements for the weighted grade in band or orchestra. 1.

Rationale for points earned through All-Suburban Band/Orchestra 3.

A. Students must spend months preparing an extensive, rigorous set of musical excerpts. The music is a four-year rotation of musical works selected from major musical method books, major orchestral literature, etc. Even without earning a place in the All-Suburban Honors Ensemble, students will have studied advanced concepts that will enable them to participate at a higher level in their PHS ensembles.

A. Students will be studying additional literature over and above their required class work. B. Students will be required to practice more than if they were only enrolled in a PHS ensemble.

B. If a student earns a place in the All-Suburban Honors Ensemble, there are at least four rehearsals they must attend, including an all-day session on a Saturday, before performing at the All-Suburban concert. This time alone requires much effort on the student’s part, but they must also spend many hours learning the concert performance literature, which is completely different from the audition pieces. Furthermore, these students gain the opportunity to participate in rehearsals with many of the area’s finest HS musicians while being coached by selected area band directors and a special guest clinician/ conductor.

C. Students will gain additional performance experience. D. Students who have to audition for a group will earn more points than a student who can earn membership without an audition. 4.

Rationale for points earned through participation in the SLSMEA District Solo/Small Ensemble Festival and the MSHSAA State Music Festival. A. Similar to the All-Suburban audition process, students must practice musical selections—different from those in played in their PHS classes—for several weeks (minimum) before performing in at the festival. This activity has shown to be valuable in furthering the musical growth of our students. For example, in a section of 12 violins it might be easy to hear of something is out of tune, but more difficult to identify who it is and then remedy the problem quickly. However, in an ensemble of three players it becomes easier to diagnose the problem which gets the students to the problem solving process quicker. They can then apply these skills in our larger ensembles.

C. Band students who do not earn a place in an All-Suburban Honors Ensemble are not eligible to audition for the All-State Ensembles, so they cannot earn any points for anything that has to do with All-State. D. Students who earn a place in an All-State Ensemble are truly among the finest student musicians in our state. They must learn a completely new set of musical literature, and attend the state music conference where they rehearse for nearly 8 hours per day for two and a half days ending with a performance in front of a couple thousand people. In addition, these students have opportunities to attend clinics and visit a large exhibit hall containing several brands of instruments and thousands of pieces of music/method books for purchase. The musical growth they experience through the All-State participation is immeasurable.

B. While the PHS music staff members make themselves available for practice sessions outside of class, students are not given much time in class to prepare for this activity. So, they have to spend their own time rehearsing, looking up musical terms, using a digital tuner, working with a metronome, etc. Along with ownership of their performance, the students get to explore music in a deeper level because they are responsible for all aspects involved in the performance including setting the rehearsal schedule, deciding what excerpts to rehearse, how to correct mistakes, etc.

E. A gauge for estimating the number of students who might try to earn points for this at PHS: Fewer than 30 band students auditioned for All-Suburban in November 2009. Seven of them made it, and then auditioned for All-State. There, two of them made it. In the past, we have had as many as four band members make All-State at one time. 2.

Rationale for points earned through membership/participation in community music ensembles.

C. Students are able to earn different number of points based on the level of their performance. For example, a student who earns a 1-Rating (the highest) is considered Superior while a 3-Rating is considered Good. Students who earn below a 3-Rating would not earn points for this activity.

Rationale for points earned through concurrent enrollment in another PHS music class.

66

D. Only the students who earn a 1-rating at the District Festival are able to perform at the State Music Festival. All others would not be able to earn points for the State Festival. As a point of reference, 09-10 PHS Band students earned a total of ten 3-Ratings, twentyfour 2-Ratings and seventeen 1-Ratings (a new school record). Only those seventeen entries can participate in the State Music Festival.
