1. On the attached staff paper, write out ALL the scales you will play this quarter for scale exams. Be sure if you
play two octaves you write two octaves. If you need paper, ask. Most of the scales are in your books, simply
copy them to your staff paper. Neatness and accuracy are very important.
- OR -
Compose a melody using one of the scales. Play the melody on your instrument to see if it sounds good. Don't
just write notes down. Be sure the rhythms are correct and beats per measure are correct. Freshman only
need to write 4-8 measures, Sophomores 8-16, Juniors 16-24, and Seniors 24-32+. Neatness and accuracy
are very important for either task.
You can do both if you wish, and you would receive 65 points for each part and another 50 pts for doing both.
This amounts to a possible 115 pts more for just this question!
