FINAL RUN THROUGH BEFORE FEB RECITAL


Free Choice - Still Into You

1) Knowledge and Fluency

18/25 Secure knowledge of notes and rhythms; some mistakes but not enough to disturb the fluency of the performance.
Overall shape and direction of the piece performed demonstrates critical understanding.

2) Technical Control

15/25 - What grade is this piece? Can you please have this justified by your teacher.
The learner demonstrated moderate technical control of the instrument, voice with problems in some areas in music that demands moderately advanced techniques.

3) Realisation of performance markings and/ or performance conventions

20/25 - The learner realises markings of tempo, expression, articulation and phrasing throughout most of the performance and/ or most appropriate performing conventions are applied.

- Top two boxes will not be available if this is below grade 6 so justification for the grading is need for this piece
- Listen back to your recording with the score and check your words - sometimes you are missing words - circle ones you missed.
- "Baby not a day goes by that I'm Not" with the high D needs greater control and support.
- Add in further appropriate dynamic markings to the score so that you can show more expression - discuss this with your teacher.

50/75




Focused study piece - Hot and Cold
Not sure about this as a focused study piece that is a key repertoire piece for the voice?
Grade?

1) Interpretive Understanding
9/15 - The learner demonstrates a moderate understanding of how the instrument, voice or technology is used in the piece(s) in relation to its style and context.

Satisfactory understanding of the style leads to relevant decisions regarding interpretative and technical choices in the performance.

2) Stylistic and Aural Awareness
10/15 - The learner gives a secure performance which mostly retains the original intentions of the piece in relation to its style and context, communicated with secure aural awareness.

- "that your not good for me" sounded strained - make sure it is supported and the same with the section from "call the doctor.
- Not sure about this as a focused study piece that is a key repertoire piece for the voice?
- Grade?

19/30 + 50/75 + 53/75 = 122/180 = D grade

135 - C, 150 - B, 165 - A
