Recital Hearings will be held at the end of April. Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors will perform 1 chamber work in the fall jury and 1 chamber work in the spring recital hearing. Chamber groups and pieces will be selected/approved by the directors. Students will have time in class to practice with their chamber group, however, outside rehearsal time is necessary. Additionally, students should work on their individual parts with their private instructors. Seniors will select a minimum of 3 works for their Senior Recital. Seniors will complete piece selection forms at the beginning of each semester. In the Fall Jury, seniors will perform 1 chamber work. For the Spring Recital Hearing, seniors will perform 2 solo works. Master Classes To prepare students for the Spring Recital, 2 mandatory master classes will be held each semester. Students will be assigned to perform with their ensemble in one of these master classes. Please let us know of any conflicts as soon as possible via email. Master classes will take place in the orchestra room from 3:30-5:30. Recital or Concert Attendance SCAPA students are required to attend four professional or collegiate string recitals or orchestra concerts. We would recommend attending two in the Fall and two in the Spring. These performances must be a college or professional orchestra, chamber, or recital performance. Students are to submit a concert program for each performance. Please submit concert programs to the SCAPA collection box with your name clearly written on the front cover. SCAPA Spring Recital Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors will each perform 1 piece with their chamber ensemble. Dates and times will be scheduled in the Spring semester. Senior Recitals Seniors will plan and perform a recital for the Spring. Each senior will perform a minimum of four pieces which includes one chamber work. Seniors may wish to hold their SCAPA recital with another student. Selections written with an accompaniment must be performed with an accompanist. Seniors are responsible for providing their own accompanist and are responsible for scheduling the date and location. Though this is a requirement, families are responsible for paying the accompanist fees. SCAPA fees only cover the cost of master classes. If there is any difficulty in finding or funding an accompanist, please let us know. Our goal is to make this a positive and educational experience. Service Requirements Students are to accumulate eight hours of public service per year. This could include mentoring younger orchestra students or performing for nursing homes, hospitals, or public venues (outside of school and CKYO performances). Service hours should be music based.
