Solo and Ensemble
***S AND E IS HELD AT PIONEER H.S. IN ANN ARBOR THIS YEAR FOR 2016!!!
As a student in the Holmes Middle School Instrumental Music Program, your son/daughter will have many opportunities to perform this year. One opportunity is at Solo and Ensemble Festival at Franklin High School (Livonia). This event takes place once a year, Saturday, February 7th 2015. I encourage all students to consider participation in these events as they provide a wonderful opportunity for individual growth on their instruments.
Solo & Ensemble Festival is an opportunity for individual students to perform a classical selection of their choice for adjudication. Each student or group of students is evaluated by one judge and rated on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being the highest rating possible. Along with a rating, students will receive valuable information on how to be a better musician and tips on improving their playing skills. Participating students that earn a rating of 1 or 2 at District will receive a medal. Students working with a private teacher, your private teacher should be able to pick out a piece for you, if you need help picking out music, see Ms. Kilgore.
Important guidelines in choosing music for Solo and Ensemble:
Music must be at least minimum 1 1/2 minutes in length
Must provide an original copy for the judge to view
Measures must be numbered (I recommend lightly in pencil)
If solo calls for piano accompaniment, then soloist must play with a piano accompaniment! All pieces must be cleared with Mr. Rais.
Music selection must be classical and published, NO movie or pop selections
Absolutely NO forms will be accepted after Thursday Oct. 30, this is time sensitive material.
Fees for Solo and Ensemble:
Solo $10.00
Piano Solo $20.00
Duet $16.00 ($8.00 per member)
Trio $24.00 ($8.00 per member)
Quartet $32.00 ($8.00 per member)
Please turn in money and form by Thursday, October 30th 2014 in a sealed envelope with the students name and Solo and Ensemble on the front. Checks made payable to: Holmes Middle School, Cash is accepted.
