January 17, 2008

at Livonia Franklin High School

Solo & Ensemble is a great way to work on solo or chamber (small ensemble) pieces of music.

If you would like to do a solo, the fee is $10 plus $40 for a piano accompanist (who is an excellent piano player!)

Ensembles are $8.00 per person.

Piano Solos are $20.

You MUST practice a ton if you want to participate in Solo & Ensemble.

Practice at least every other day on your S&E music!

Truman owns some music and if it is suitable you are welcome to use it!

If we can not find a good piece for you, a music store can be recommended for you to search

REMEMBER - your piece of music must be at least 2 minutes in length

 REGISTRATION & PAYMENT DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 12, 2008

Receiving a First Division rating (Blue Medal) qualifies you for State Solo & Ensemble
