Our Theme Festival is fast approaching and I hope everyone is
planning on participating or attending. Our theme this year is
Asymmetrical meter. It is to take place at Castaic Middle School
at 2:00 PM on April 24th. The fee per student is 25 dollars. Unlike
our general recitals the students will be evaluated by a judge.
Please have checks made out to SCVMTAC and sent with a recital form to the
home of John Fairbanks 24159 Del Monte Drive #385 Valencia CA, 91355. The due
date for forms and money will be April 16th. Recital forms can be downloaded
and printed from our branch website, www.scvmtac.org.
the exact link is http://www.scvmtac.org/entryform2009-2010.pdf
Please contact me with any questions. jlfairbanks@yahoo.com or

Thank you

 Hello Teacher's,
We have a theme for the Festival Recital on April 24th (time:
TBD) at Castaic
Middle School. Break
out your Mission Impossible sheet music because the theme is going to be
Asymmetrical meter. So please limit your selections to pieces that are
entirely or partially written in a meter that cannot be subdivided evenly
such as 5/4 or 7/8. Don't for get mixed meters as well. This obviously
narrows the selection down to mainly contemporary music, however if you
search around even Baroque composers such as Buxtehude composed in
asymmetrical meters. (hat tip: Josh Pifer)
I think this will be a really "cool" theme for the kids
and hopefully we won't lose a lot of hair teaching these pieces. So start
preparing, there is less than seven months until the event. Keep your eyes
peeled for more information and let me know if you have any questions.
