z-CEM Workshop Registration

This workshop will provide classes for Intermediate, Upper Intermediate, and Advanced recorder players. The questions below will help us sort you into classes appropriate to your playing level. The following descriptions of those levels, drawn from The Triangle Recorder Society (NC), may also give you some guidance on how to describe your playing level.

• Intermediate players: are comfortable with all the notes in both C and F fingering, and should be well along with playing “alto up” or bass. These players are becoming increasingly fluent with cut time and, accompanied by other players on the same part, can keep their place in easy polyphonic music at a moderate tempo. These players, with some practice, can attend to phrasing, articulation, and intonation, and with attention to a conductor can often get back in when lost.
• Upper Intermediate players: play C & F fingerings, read bass clef and alto up, and may be dabbling in C clefs. Keeping place while alone on a part is not a problem except in complicated music. Good articulation, phrasing, and intonation are becoming more of a habit. Beating large note values is not often a problem
• Advanced players: have reasonably nimble fingers, plays all instruments, read alto up, may read C clefs, keep (or quickly find) their place in nearly all music, and have a sense of appropriate style for both Renaissance and Baroque music.
