E-Flat Chromatic Scale Playing test 
Due Friday, September 30 (Take 1) and Take 2 Due on Thursday, October 6 
Record yourself by Video (no garage band please) and upload your video to Google Classroom. Remember that I need to see you playing your instrument in the video - I need to see embouchures, hands, mallets, strings, etc. Thank you! :)

* Wind and string instruments: 
Perform the E-flat chromatic scale up and down, twice, back to back in one exercise/ recording.
1st time all tongued
2nd time all slurred (except legato for strings and trombones)
Tempo: Quarter note = 96-120

* Percussion: 
1st time: in sixteenth notes (in paradiddles alternating notes)
example sticking:
E-flat, E, F,  F#, G, G#, A, B-flat
  L      R   L  L     R   L   R    R
2nd time: one group of four sixteenth notes for each paradiddle group

* Students will all receive feedback after their 1st Take, and then will re-record and be given a mark after their 2nd take. Marks will be a combination of the two takes, taking in to consideration the level of improvement between takes.

* Remember that tests not submitted by the due date will receive a mark of Zero until the test is completed and has been able to be assessed. Students can do a re-test if they wish to get a higher mark. Re-tests will be accepted up until two weeks before the end of each term. 


Good luck! Happy practicing.
