March Madness - Piano Ensemble Listening Challenge!

The March Madness listening challenge is back this year!

Listening examples will focus on the piano in ensemble.

WEEK 1:  Piano Duet (1 piano, four hands)

WEEK 2:  Piano Duo (2 pianos, four hands)

WEEK 3:  Piano in Chamber Ensemble

WEEK 4:  Piano Concerto (piano and orchestra)


Here's how it works:
  • Each week, I will post 2 videos for students to watch.  I will try to keep the selections short, so please make an effort to watch the videos in their entirety.  
  • Once you have listened to both videos, you may vote for your favorite.  The whole family can participate in the voting process!
  • I will post the winning video on my board and the blog each week.
  • Every student who participates for all 4 weeks will receive a treat at the end of the challenge!
Listening to music and watching other performers is such an important part of our development as musicians.  

The first 2 videos will be released on Monday, March 6.

Enjoy!
