Re: Grade Level Goals

When I first began teaching privately nearly 20 years ago I actually wrote out when I thought students should master certain playing and musical concepts by amount of time studied privately, I was somewhat too fast for most students, but three or four who started as absolute beginners to clarinet (and one to playing instruments generally, he's just beginning a medical practice in Oregon state while his parents still live in Toronto) came pretty close to my guideline. It's on an 90s-era old Powermac that doesn't have have a USB port and my computers haven't had floppy drive so can't copy it.

For the most part, I ditch the band books except to show that they can play much more than what school requires that it becomes like sight reading except for the very slowest students and substitute rep and studies from the RCM and ensemble material, including some of my very easy arrangements.
