TROMBONE FOR PLEASURE

In compiling this syllabus the New Zealand Music Examinations Board has endeavoured to use readily available and affordableeditions as indicated in the text. The Board has used each book to the fullest extent possible, however any edition is acceptable.

Editions are mentioned solely as a means of identification, and any standard edition will be accepted.

New Zealand music is available from SOUNZ, the Centre for New Zealand Music, Level 1, 39 Cambridge Terrance, Wellington,

6001. Tel 04-8018602, Fax 04-801 8604, [email protected].

Examination Music

Entrants may not use photocopies for performance (other than for facilitating page turns) in examinations, as this is prohibited

by the Copyright Act. All Level Two, Three, Four, Five and Six entrants must hand copies of all pieces being performed to the

examiner together with their examination slip when they enter the examination room. It is recommended that Level One entrants

also hand in copies. Entrants should not play repeats in examinations, however any da capo must be played.

Co-Requisites

There are no additional theory requirements for Grades 6-8.

Improvisation

Credit will be awarded for appropriate improvisation. It is acknowledged that within some of the styles presented improvisation

will be appropriate. Care however must be taken to maintaim the work’s musical integrity and level of difficulty. A copy of the work

with the improvisation section marked must be brought to the examination for use by the examiner.

Entrants changing from Performance Trombone to Trombone for Pleasure

Entrants in Performance Trombone are permitted to swap to the Trombone for Pleasure syllabus by presenting three pieces by

three different composers two of which must be in the Performance Trombone syllabus of the same grade. Entrants should advise

the examiner of the change when they enter the examination room and mark the appropriate box on their examination slip.

Syllabus Repertoire

Three pieces are to be presented. The programme must show a variety of styles by three different composers. A minimum of two

pieces are to be from the NZMEB syllabus list. The third piece may be an own choice piece and should be at a similar level to

those already in the syllabus. The syllabus repertoire lists may be used as a source for an own choice piece. Entrants must bringa copy of the own choice piece to the examination for the examiner to refer to.

Processes require a range of developing skills within a range of familiar contexts. These are applied using relevant theoretical

knowledge, interpretative skills, discretion and judgment within a range of known responses to familiar problems. Although

activities are directed by the teacher, learners have significant responsibility for the quantity and quality of output.

Level 4 - Grades 7 and 8

Processes require a wide range of technical skills involving a considerable choice of procedures in a variety of familiar and

un-familiar contexts. The learning demands a broad knowledge base incorporating some theoretical concepts and analytical

interpretation of information. The learning demand requires informed judgment within a range of innovative responses to concrete

but often unfamiliar problems. Learners have complete responsibility for the quantity and quality of output under broad guidance

and evaluation from their teacher.


In addition to those criteria at level 1, 2, & 3 the entrants will demonstrate:

• Accurate and fluent performance throughout.

• Rhythmic stability and vitality.

• A full exploration of the dynamic range of the instrument.

• A confident projection of the style and character of chosen works.

• Sensitivity to subtleties of nuance, rubato and ornamentation.

• A well developed aural awareness and reliable intonation.

• A well developed awareness of fine pitch discrimination.

• A competent use of vibrato for musical expression.
