Please bring Kazez, Berkowitz, your keyboard schemata packet, and staff paper to class on Nov. 13.

I have posted the materials for the keyboard prepared performance video portfolio. Please download the exercises, and record a video of yourself performing each one perfectly or nearly so. Create a folder on Google Drive named “LASTNAME Keyboard Performance Portfolio”, upload these videos to that folder, and share the folder with me by class time on Nov. 18. If they are up to standard, this will complete your keyboard prepared performance course objective. If not, you will need to reqork them and resubmit them.

I have also posted the Cycle 4 singing materials, linked from the assessment page under the appropriate categories. If you are comfortable doing so (it is not required yet), you may make videos of those rhythms and melodies to add to your Cycle 3 materials. Once your Cycle 3 and 4 melodies and rhythms are recorded as performed (nearly) flawlessly, you will complete your melodic prepared performance and rhythmic prepared performance objectives. The goal will be for everyone to meet the prepared performance objectives before Thanksgiving break, so that we can focus entirely on listening and sight-reading during the last two weeks of class. Feel free to work ahead as you are able.
