Beginning to Play Classical Guitar. Book 2. 2nd ed. Honolulu: FRM, 2000. General information This course is both a lecture and laboratory course. Lecture materials are reinforced with hands-on-experience in class. Thus, attendance and participation is essential in this course. If you're absent from class, you'll miss information, coaching and rehearsals with your ensemble partners. Missing class has a negative impact on your final grade (see "Attendance policy"). Be prepared for class: do the reading, practice your assigned pieces at least one hour daily and bring your guitar to class. Assignment due dates are listed on the class schedule. 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 ability to play solo and ensemble literature of advanced beginner to intermediate levels. Poise and confidence as a performer. Mastery of basic stage etiquette. The ability to read music fluently up to and including the fifth position (frets 1-8). The ability to play major and chromatic scales. The ability to play simple slurs, trills and mordents in all fingering combinations across the strings. A working knowledge of tempo markings, dynamics and expressive terms. A knowledge of advanced beginner and intermediate level guitar technique and literature. The expertise to continue guitar studies in Mus 221H. Student objectives Participate in assigned ensembles. Attend class regularly and participate in class activities and rehearsals. Be on time for class sessions. Late arrivals are disruptive to the class and instructor. Practice at least one hour daily. Complete assignments by due dates. Be responsible and considerate towards your ensemble partners: show up to rehearsals with your part learned. Perform assigned pieces in class recitals. Performances Five (5) solos (100 points each) Five (5) ensembles (100 points each) Each performance is graded on a 0-100 point scale. Grading will encompass class participation, progress, accuracy of pitch and rhythm, quality of tone and interpretation. If you are absent or refuse to play, you will be assigned a failing grade of "0." Due dates are listed on the class schedule. Grading Your tests, performances and other grades are averaged together to form a preliminary score: 90-100 = A; 80-89 = B; 70-79 = C; 60-69 = D; 0-59 = F. For the course grade, your preliminary score is adjusted according to your attendance and participation (see "Attendance Policy"). The N grade is not given in this class. Late assignments are accepted only if a special arrangement is made with the professor prior to the due date. Attendance policy This is a laboratory course and thus regular attendance and participation is mandatory. If you don't come to class, you can't participate. Your preliminary score will be adjusted according to your attendance and participation records: 1-4 absences: no change 5-7 absences: score lowered by 1 grade (A becomes B) 8-10 absences: score lowered by 2 grades (A becomes C) 11-13 absences: score lowered by 3 grades (A becomes D) 14 or more absences: failure If you come to class without a guitar or refuse to play you're counted as absent. Tardy policy For grading purposes, four (4) tardies are considered equivalent to one absence (see "Attendance policy" above).
