| Description: The well-known melody of Prince of Denmark provides the perfect setting for advocacy. Each of the four different versions of the final 8 bars containing an increasing amount of incorrect notes representing letter grades (80% correct or B-, 90% or A-, 95% or A, and 100% or A+), making it perfect for the audience to find “errors”. Play all four versions and then explain that the A+, 100% correct version is what we do in orchestra. All sections play the melody in this piece, still providing a solid musical setting in a novelty piece. This provides a perfect advocacy moment to discuss the benefits of music education with parents and a tangible explanation of striving for excellence to parents and students. Includes an educational packet with each part that features technical exercises, history, theory, composition, and more. |
