Collaborative Rep - Spring 2017

As collaborative piano takes up nearly 50% of my music-making during the academic year, I've started to keep lists...looooong lists... of everything I learn each semester. It's mostly so I can feel a sense of accomplishment, but it's also smart to keep a running rep list, no matter what it's for.

If you're not already keeping track of rep you learn - for whatever instrumentation - I'd go ahead and start!

Performed in Recital

Flute
Chaminade, Concertino
Clarke, Hypnosis
Mouquet, Pan et les Oiseaux
Ganne, Andante and Scherzo
Bohm, Fantasy, Op. 21
Schumann, Three Romances
Griffes, Poem
Reinecke, Ballade

Clarinet
Cahuzac, Cantilene
Hindemith, Sonate
Rabud, Solo de Concours
Saint-Saëns, Sonata
Bassi, Fantasia from I puritani
Weber, Concertino in E-flat Major, Op. 26

Violin
Bartok, Romanian Folk Dances
Khachaturian, Concerto, II.

Percussion
Sejourne, Concerto for Marimba and Strings
Rosauro, Concerto for Marimba and Orchestra
Green, Cross Corners

Performed in Masterclass, Jury

Flute

Mozart, Concerto in G Major

Sancan, Sonatine

Hindemith, Sonate

Clarinet

Bassi, Fantasia da Concerto

Arnold, Sonatina

Alwyn, Sonata

Gaubert, Fantasie

Saxophone

Ibert, Concertino

Koechlin, from Etudes

Demersseman, Fantaisie

Bozza, Divertissement

Lantier, Sicilienne

Glazunov, Concerto

In looking at the list, I can tell I forgot to write down a few pieces. Others were begun but not completed, so they aren't included either.

Regardless, it looks and felt like a lot of music. It was split between 20 different students.

This coming semester I've only accepted 10 into my accompaniment studio, which should hopefully make life a little simpler. It's not so much learning the music that's the problem: it's coordinating schedules with 20 students and their applied lesson professors that starts to wear on all of us after a while. I'm hoping that 10 is an easily manageable number.

Plus, we have 11 incoming freshmen to the percussion studio, so there will be more lessons to go around there as well. And I'm planning on taking a psychology course this fall, as it has always been an interest of mine. (...If that wasn't obvious between some essays here and segments on @ percussion podcast.)

June's concerts in Chicago went well. Haven't watched the videos yet, but will do soon. We are coming up on the Staunton Music Festival, where I'll be involved in two concerts. One will feature a US premiere of Iron Curtain, a percussion quartet by Moritz Eggert, who will be in residence. Looking forward to receiving the music!

Marimba Body: Back Muscles

This essay is all about the muscles of the back, since we talked about the spine in my last segment. Since I get to talk all about shoulders at PASIC (woohoo!!!) on Friday, I thought a good connection between spine structure and the shoulder joint would be about the muscles of the back that help to protect both. Though I've never experienced it severely first-hand, it seems like there is nothing worse than constant back pain. Ask anyone who has dealt with it and they will say that you must protect your back so you never feel what they do. Doctors warn their patients that once they have one surgery, chances are they will need more. (This makes sense, as you can't fix one part of the long spinal structure without later needing to correct other areas.) There's good news, though: keeping the muscles of the back strong, and freely aligning the spine, can help us lead pain and surgery-free lives. Waterfall Muscles source source ...

Marimba Body: Aching Elbows

As we gear up for fall and the concert season ahead, whether as a student, professor, or touring artist, it's a good time to reflect on our technical habits. For those that took time off over the summer, there's the process of re-integrating hours of practice. For those that are preparing entire new programs (ehhem...yours truly), there's the challenge of not rushing through the learning process, mentally and physically. Throughout my time writing the Marimba Body series, folks have approached me with different questions of "do you have anything about ___?" Coming up a few times is the issue of elbow pain - what it is, how we get it, and how to heal and then prevent it. Here's what I've learned, experienced, and found. Three Common Pain Areas Most commonly, percussionists experience elbow pain: - on the outside of the elbow (lateral epicondylitis, aka: tennis elbow) - on the inside of the elbow (medial epicondylitis, aka: golfer's elb...

Marimba Body: Thumbs

Thumbs. Without them who knows how we'd play our instruments. Interest in the relationship between the hand, wrist, and thumb began a few years ago when I took piano lessons to refine my technique. (As similar as piano and percussion are in theory , there's much less crossover than I mistakenly thought and hoped.) Anyway, something my mentor said was when the thumb isn't being used it should relax towards the rest of the hand and fingers. Sure, may sound obvious, but in the throes of playing - piano or percussion - it's easy to forget little things like this. Brain: Play a broken 13 over 7, across 6 surfaces...crescendo...oh, right. THUMB. End Scene Thumbs that are mis-mapped, working more than they should, or working when they don't need to contribute to funny aches, pains, and numbness that can get mistaken for carpal tunnel. Just like all other subjects in the Marimba Body series, how we relate to the structure and movement desi...
