Richard Tracz Band Protfolio by Richard Tracz https://padlet.com/rtracz241/l55gnawwl9vv9vot Made with the sound of Jazz en-us 2020-11-17 14:31:24 UTC 2021-03-09 13:31:02 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f3b7.png How is band going rtracz241 https://padlet.com/rtracz241/l55gnawwl9vv9vot/wish/931880920 Although it is a little confusing being in full remote and all I still really do enjoy band and love playing the saxophone. I wish that we were all still in school for doing this because thats what makes band special but not much we can do about that.]]> 2020-11-17 14:35:20 UTC https://padlet.com/rtracz241/l55gnawwl9vv9vot/wish/931880920 What practice technique do you think will help you? Is there a practice technique that you use that we didn't talk about? Is there something you wish you had a better method of practicing for? rtracz241 https://padlet.com/rtracz241/l55gnawwl9vv9vot/wish/959854457 Personally practice techniques that help me are simple scales and especially the ones that I skip a note and go back down to. To be honest I don't wish for a better method because I love the one I am using right now and fine joy in it.]]> 2020-11-25 13:49:01 UTC https://padlet.com/rtracz241/l55gnawwl9vv9vot/wish/959854457 Reflect on your experience on preparing music for the Holiday Concert. What worked really well and what could you have used more help on? Finally, what did you learn during this process? Please feel free to share any thoughts you had about recording a virtual concert. rtracz241 https://padlet.com/rtracz241/l55gnawwl9vv9vot/wish/1021672143 Personally I love the holidays and what they stand for. Even though its going to be different this year it will definitely leave a mark. I love playing christmas music on my Saxophone and adding a Jazzy feel to it. It just bring me so much joy and makes my mind feel at peace from the crazy year that has presented itself. ]]> 2020-12-15 19:45:07 UTC https://padlet.com/rtracz241/l55gnawwl9vv9vot/wish/1021672143 As we begin the 2nd semester of this school year, reflect on one music concept or idea that you feel you got stronger at or gained better understanding of. Briefly share how and why you feel stronger with this concept or idea. Then, come up with two goals that you wish to work towards during the 2nd semester. Discuss why these two goals are important to you and your musical growth. Feel free to write in paragraph form or build a list. rtracz241 https://padlet.com/rtracz241/l55gnawwl9vv9vot/wish/1148942817 I feel as if I have gotten stronger in the classical arts with practicing some classical music along with surrounding myself with it by listening to Bach and Mozart as well as Tchaikovsky. Overall I also think it has helped me improve as a person and I really see it benefiting my life quite a bit. ]]> 2021-02-01 14:40:15 UTC https://padlet.com/rtracz241/l55gnawwl9vv9vot/wish/1148942817 What is the hardest part about this piece for you? Why is it the hardest for you?- What should we as a band work on more to get stronger at playing "Mt. Everest?" How would we go about addressing this? rtracz241 https://padlet.com/rtracz241/l55gnawwl9vv9vot/wish/1287366622 I would say the middle part of the piece is where i find a little trouble in. Currently given our situation of not actually being able to meet in person there is nothing much we could improve on]]> 2021-03-09 13:30:09 UTC https://padlet.com/rtracz241/l55gnawwl9vv9vot/wish/1287366622
