| Band Performance 7,8: Exhibition completes the musical education of the advanced student by connecting their performance skills with their ability to investigate and solve musical challenges. Students will demonstrate independence performing alone and in small groups, making appropriate personal choices of tone, interpretation, and musicality. They will study diverse repertoire, with foci on multi-movement works and produce a senior exhibition performance. They will develop an expanded knowledge of scales and cadences, create multi-part compositions, and evaluate musical performances at an advanced level. In addition to the live exhibition students will keep a journal of their musical growth throughout the year and write a reflection of their journey and final performance. | |
