Playing Test - Jan 20th

Good Morning, Just a reminder that I will not be in attendance on Jan 14, 15, and 16. Your expectation is to work on our playing test that will happen in class on Tuesday, January 20th. The rubric and selections are outlined below.

You will prepare and perform the following excerpt from your MPA Music in class with a metronome. It is a PASS/FAIL system, aka you can either play it or you cant. If you pass, you will receive the grade associated with the BPM you perform (The faster you attempt, the better your grade)
