Try playing from beginning to end WITHOUT STOPPING! Don't go back and fix any mistakes, because you won't be allowed that opportunity at NYSSMA.Ħ) Remember that music is fun. Look for time signatures, key signatures, dynamics, accidentals, articulations and any other important information. Look through it for about a minute or so without playing. Choose your solo carefully with the help of your music teacher. Use your lesson book, open up to a page you have not practiced, or haven't worked on in a while. Levels 1-4 Piano: 22.00 Levels 5-6 Piano: 30.00 Preparation: Solos are graded by difficulty from Level 1 (easiest) to Level 6 (most difficult). (Percussionists, check with me on which rudiments you must memorize).ĥ) Sight reading. For Level III - IV you must memorize any 7 scales and Level V - VI you must memorize all 15 scales. For Level I - II you must memorize any 3 scales. (If you do not have a metronome, buy one, it will be a great help to you).Ĥ) Practice your scales everyday as a warm-up. Once you have done that.ģ) Start by playing from beginning to the end with a metronome. Once you know it, then start to increase the tempo, then move on to the next 4 measures (continue this until you reach the end of the solo).

I recommend at least 2 hours a week.Ģ) Take things sllllloooWork on 4 bar phrases until you know them perfectly at a very slow tempo. In order to be prepared for NYSSMA you must increase your practice habits. Here are some helpful suggestions that will lead to a successful experience at NYSSMA.ġ) Practice EVERYDAY!! Now I am sure some days this is not a realistic goal, but even 10-15 minutes on those really busy days will help. You can find several recordings to listen to that will help you while preparing for NYSSMA. Welcome to the newly created NYSSMA page.
