some of you post some great things.
But my question is this-when you say university leveled music, what are you actually speaking of?
To the educator that are pursuing the degree in music-do your professor teach the different levels of music, and do they tell you what is considered university leveled music.
just a curious question.

MY PERSONAL OPINION is that high schools should not be trying to play university music (if it is arranged on a university level) It is not fair to those kids.

If a professional ,college student , high school and jr high student was all playing a simple "Three Blind Mice" , there has to be distinct differences in playing in terms of phrasing, intonation horn control ....that seperate each group.
I'm talking about pushing kids beyond the scope of what they are capable of handeling.Originally posted by jag4life
I disagree. If a high school has the talent to play it, why not? They will benefit from it in the long run. I am mainly speaking of symphonic and concert band music.
He also had a private teacher and most kids today do not have that opportunity.Originally posted by jag4life
If a high school or junior high school student can play, they can play. This has nothing to do with grade level or age. If you are a gifted musician...you just are. Wynton Marsalis used to play with the UNO jazz band when he was a pre-teen. He was just THAT good.

I'm not talking about a student. I'm talking about a band. Like I said before there is not an absolute to this one question. It's a matter of what you want in your program. Yes, I want to push students as far as I can without pushing them away from the art of music. There are even some high schools up north that are playing more complicated stuff than a university band is. More power to them IF THEY CAN PLAY AT THAT LEVEL. I will not push students beyond that just to keep up with the musical Jone's.

There are high schools in Louisiana doing that also. At least when I was in high school at Thibodaux High. Check out the New Orleans area.

If you have this kind of reasoning at a college level, the world had better be ready for you when you get out?
Again....
You make me so proud....:cry:

Well,... my question to you is this: Where are all these talented kids going? The program you are describing to me sounds HOME GROWN. Meaning elementary through high schools are all working together to train these kids correctly and sending them to another level of training within that body of school system. I don't see that kind of talent coming here. If they were coming here, this band would be out of sight. Should we take another look at how we go about recruiting?
