Draft of Script for MEUD 518 Project Using iMovie--Lee Koss The purpose of my video is to publish a performance of the next year's Junior Region 1 Flute Solo on youTube. Recordings of the Junior level solos are very difficult to find. I estimate that the recording will be about 7-10 minutes in length. I imagine that the film would be in A-B-A form, with B being the flute solo.

Possible Video and Audio sources: 1. Video and audio of rehearsal and practice room spaces at Cali. 2. Video if possible or audio of a performances at the Accelerated Music Recital at MHS 3/9/10. 3. Still photos that I would take of above with permission--to be shown over my performance (or by the student mentioned below) playing the 2011 Region 1 flute solo: Google Photos, Delicious Images. 4. Tapes (really old technology) and CD's of Jr. Region 1 Concerts and school ensemble performances played between 1996 and 2008. 5. CD recording by flute student described below for her application to attend the Interlochen Academy next year. 6. Video of Region 1 Band concert 3/7/10 by a parent from my middle school of students coming on stage. 7. Professional photo from Region 1 2010 concert 3/7/10(may arrive too late to be of use in this project. 8. Photo taken by my student's parent of the two of us. 9. Audio recording of me or an outstanding flautist in my school sectionals performing the 2011 Jr. Region 1 solo. Still photos might be from Google photos, Delicious, and my personal photo collection while I am playing the solo. That will be a lot of photos. This student is lovely--perhaps I can use video of her playing the solo, if her parents and administration give me permission to do so. 10. Visual introduction and closing similar to that of the NOVA (Northern Virginia Community College (Alexandria Campus) Band. This ensemble is made up of music majors and players from greater No. Virginia. Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ukXnLMo-iY&feature=channel

UPDATED DRAFT--Lee Koss 4/3 Well, after experimenting with Garage Band, google photos, and iMovie, I have a clearer idea of my script for my video. 1. Audio using Garage Band of next year's anticipated Region 1 Band audition solo. 2. Photos of my private students and school students. I will need to check whether any of my students are on the "no photo" list and obtain permission from the Middle School Principal. I will take the photos myself. 3. I need to learn how to download my photos to my borrowed mac. 4. I will use the iMovie tools to move between photos. 5. I need to learn how to produce DVD's with the iMovie software, because producing a DVD for each student is my ultimate goal.

This is Adrianne Prosini. Here is the script for my promotional video. The purpose of this video is to introduce kids and parents to the different types of instruments available. I do this by showing stills of the instrument and then including a short YouTube video with someone playing it. I included kids and adults so all will be able to relate to it. Finally, I chose Kraftwerk's "Autobahn" as the background music because it is a feel-good song that I really like. Below is the script. (I realize I say the name of the school, however, if I changed jobs it would be easy to re-record those parts). (title screen saying Livingston Park Instrumental Music w/background music playing followed by text screen saying "3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students: strings) "Hello, My name is Adrianne Prosini and I am the instrumental music teacher here at Livingston Park. This is an informational video about what instruments will be available for your child to play next year. But first, let's take a look at what makes music so special." (cue "piano stairs" video) (spoken with stills of instrument and background music) "All third to fifth grade students are eligible to play one of three string instruments. The violin is the smallest and highest sounding instrument of the 3." (cue violin video) (background music w/stills) "Next we have the cello. The cello has a low sound and is the largest string instrument offered in our program." (cue cello video) (background music w/stills) The viola sounds lower than the violin but higher than the cello. The viola is known for its rich, dark tone." (cue viola video) (text screen "4th and 5th grade students: band" w/background music) "Fourth and fifth grade students have the option to join the Livingston Park Band. The band is split up into three families: woodwinds, brass and percussion. (text screen "Woodwinds w/background music) (background music w/stills) "The flute is played by blowing air across the hole in the head joint and pressing down the keys. Many compositions have been written for flute due to it's beautiful sound." (cue flute video) (background music w/stills) The clarinet or “the licorice stick” is another wind instrument. The clarinet can be played in various musical settings including jazz, classical, and klezmer. (cue clarinet video) (background music w/stills) The alto saxophone can also be found in many musical settings. It can be hear in orchestras or jazz compositions. (cue sax video) (background music w/stills) The trumpet is played in many musical settings as well. It’s heroic sound is often heard in movies and the military. (cue trumpet video) (background music w/stills) The trombone is a fantastic instrument that represents the low brass section in an ensemble. The slide of the trombone makes a unique sound that can be very comedic. (trombone video) (background music w/stills) The baritone horn is another low brass instrument. Its warm tone has a huge bell that helps any ensemble sound full and powerful. (baritone horn video) (background music w/stills) The French horn has a huge bell that helps support the middle ground of a band. It also sounds very reflective when used as a solo instrument (french horn video) (background music w/stills) At Livingston Park, all percussionists are required to play the following instruments: snare drum (snare drum video) (background music w/stills) Bass drum (followed by GarageBand sound loop) Maracas (followed by GarageBand sound loop) Claves (followed by GarageBand sound loop) Tambourine (followed by GarageBand sound loop) Cymbals (followed by GarageBand sound loop) (background music w/stills) Under the category of pitched percussion is the glockenspiel. If your child plays piano, playing the glockenspiel is a great way to participate in our band. (glockenspiel video) (background music w/text saying “All videos courtesy of YouTube” followed by “Join our musical family) I hope you have enjoyed this video and will sign your child up for band or orchestra in the following school year. Do not hesitate to call or email me with any questions you may have. This has been Miss Adrianne Prosini, instrumental music teacher at Livingston Park. Thank you for your time and remember, music is for everyone!

Greetings All! I have changed my video. I have just finished my video and posted it on YouTube. It is located here:[|Click for my video.] I created an instructional video on how to properly play a flam. My outline is as follows: Building the perfect flam. · What is a flam? o Flam is one of the most important rudiments in percussion literature. · The parts of the flam o Grace Note o Accented Note · Playing the flam. o Accented Note about 6” from drum o Play the grace note about 1” from drum o When doing hand-to-hand flams, the grace note snaps up while the unaccented note stays down. · Slow Motion Performance · Caution-Keep flams vertical, do not go from side to side · Tips: o Always start slow! o Use a mirror to see your hands o Use a metronome to start slow. o Don’t reinforce bad habits. · Development Exercises · Conclusion.

Here are my two scripts for instrument assembly. Project #2, Ryan Morrow

How to Oil Trumpet Valves Script:

Hello, this segment is designed to instruct you how to oil your trumpet valves.

-The first thing you want to do is unscrew your valve caps. (Demonstrate)

-Once you have done that, pull out each valve until you can see the top and the bottom of the valve. (Point to each part.)

-The part of the valve that you want to oil is the bottom section. (Point to the bottom section)

-Take your valve oil and squeeze three or four drops out onto the valve. That’s all you need. (Demonstrate)

-Once you have oiled each valve, push each valve one at a time, back into trumpet. You must make sure that as you place each valve back into the trumpet, that you are listening to hear the valve click in place. (Demonstrate)

-Once you have lowered the valves into the trumpet, screw the valve caps back on. (Demonstrate)

-Run your fingers over the valves to make sure everything is screwed in place. (Demonstrate)

-If, when you play your trumpet, nothing is coming out, chances are, your valves have not clicked in place correctly. To fix this, you’ll have to unscrew your valve caps and turn your trumpet valves until the valves have clicked in place.

-- Clarinet Assembly Script:

Hello, this video is designed to show you how to assemble your clarinet.

-The first step to assembling your clarinet is to take the upper joint and the lower joint and twist and push them together. Make sure that when you push these to pieces together, that the bridge key (point) on the upper joint, lines up over top of the bridge key on the bottom joint. (Demonstrate)

-Next, take the bell of the clarinet and twist and push it into the bottom joint. (Demonstrate)

-Next, take the clarinet barrel and twist and push it onto the top joint. (Demonstrate)

-After you have connected the barrel to the clarinet, take your mouthpiece and twist and push it into the barrel. Leave your ligature and reed off of the mouthpiece as well as the mouthpiece cap. (Demonstrate).

-At this point, once you have your reed wet, take your reed and place it on the mouthpiece, making sure that the tip is slightly below the black edge of the mouthpiece. (Demonstrate)

-Once you have your reed in the correct place, take your ligature and place it over the reed and below the dip in the reed. Then tighten the screws of the ligature. (Demonstrate)

-You are now ready to play your clarinet!
