Handouts will be distributed as needed. General information Guitar Ensemble is a performance course. We meet in class to rehearse chamber music, i.e., music for small ensembles. Our rehearsals will culminate in a public performance near the end of the semester. This performance is the main goal of the course and is in essence your final examination. Students absent from the performance will receive a failing grade. In addition to the final performance, I will announce smaller engagements during the semester. Chamber music is a team effort and thus requires that every member be present to support and balance the ensemble. Thus, attendance in all class sessions is mandatory. If you're not in class, you'll miss information and coaching and your ensemble partners will suffer. Missing class has a negative impact on your final grade (see "Grading"). Materials A classical guitar (a wide-neck guitar with nylon strings) is required for this course. A guitar case or gig bag, footstool, music stand, electronic guitar tuner and metronome are recommended. If you would like to know more about the classical guitar, click here. Course objectives The experience of performing guitar ensembles in a public concert. A working knowledge of ensemble skills: following a conductor, giving and receiving cues, listening and responding musically to the ensemble, and rehearsal techniques. Sight reading skills to accommodate advanced beginning through intermediate ensemble literature. Increased performance skills: refinement of technique and stage etiquette. A knowledge of advanced beginning through intermediate guitar ensemble literature. The ability to participate in the musical community as an ensemble player. The ability to perform beginning solo and ensemble literature in front of a classroom audience. Student objectives Participate in assigned ensembles. Attend all scheduled rehearsals and performances. Learn your parts prior to rehearsals. Practice sight-reading, technique and assigned pieces at least one hour daily. Define and realize musical terms found in literature studied. Follow instructions carefully and concentrate while rehearsing. Grading Participation, preparation and improvement in rehearsals, performances and class attendance form the primary grading criteria. You will be graded on an A through F basis (no N grades). Here are the things you must do to earn an A, B, C, D or F grade: A: participation in assigned ensembles, participation in scheduled performances and no more than 4 absences. B: participation in assigned ensembles, participation in scheduled performances and no more than 6 absences. C: participation in assigned ensembles, participation in scheduled performances and no more than 8 absences. D: participation in assigned ensembles, participation in scheduled performances and no more than 9 absences. F: 10 or more absences and/or absence from performance. If you come to class without a guitar or refuse to play you're counted as absent. Main concert date To be announced. See PDF form above for specific performance dates.
