Grade 10 Band Summative 2014

Tone and Technique

Solo Etude - #24
A photocopy of the etude, with a dynamic plan must be submitted at the time of your summative.  This will count for up to 10 marks of your summative performance mark.  Percussion students will play snare and mallets.

Duet Etude - #22
Percussion students will play the etude on mallets and the duet part on snare.


Scale Requirements
Play the 4 scale cycle (major, relative natural minor, harmonic minor, and melodic minor) for 3 of the keys, listed below.  Students will choose 2, and the teach will choose 1.

Concert pitch:  F+, B flat+, E flat+, A flat+, G+, D+, or A+.

Tempo for scales:  1/4 note = 96.  Major scale to be played in eighth notes.  All minor scales to be played in 1/4 notes.

You must hand in the four scales, for each of the keys you choose to play, written on a piece of script paper.  This is due when you play your summative test.
