SR Level 3 - sorry triangle player!

Posted by Clumpton on 3/9/2023, 11:28 am

Hi everyone! I just wanted to give you all a head’s up. The level 3 percussion requirements mention a triangle part. However, the triangle doesn’t start until after m. 27. Ergo, if you assign a kid to the triangle part, they won’t have much to do. Or…anything.

Use that info as you might…lol!

Had all my Perc kids’ assignments ready to go and my poor student was nervously waiting to play until they realized they weren’t going to play at all.

UIL should have had the music blacked out or something to indicate that those parts weren’t needed. Not to mention the students who were probably scanning the entire piece fingering along only to be unnecessarily practicing something they weren’t going to be playing. The cut where you stop also sounds “unfinished” …I could go on but won’t.

Definitely one giant “gotcha” trap for students.

A kid getting assigned to play triangle for sight reading then not having to play triangle is a "giant gotcha"?????

Lol

No. Not a giant gotcha.

Lol of course the triangle part isn’t the only reason it’s a “giant gotcha”

there’s several other aspects to the piece that contribute to myself and many others feeling that sentiment.
