KBB Music Sales & Marketing Manager:Fung LimHi and welcome to 2010 Term 3’s issue of Random Notes.Most of you may know or have spoken with me eleven years ago when I first worked at KBBMusic. I then left NZ and my role in 2002 to be closer to family for over four years. When mywife and I decided to move back, an opening with the team was available once again, andmore recently I have embarked on my newly-appointed role as Sales and Marketing Manager.Don’t let that fool you though. I started learning the piano at 5 years old(which is common in Asia) completing my LTCL (in Performance Piano)at age 17, and BMus (Composition) at Auckland University not longafter that. I teach piano privately too as I find it extremely rewardingwhen one truly understands, embraces and benefits from the ideasand teachings. It goes without saying music is one of my passions.To quote Nietzsche, ‘In music the passions enjoy themselves.’So from helping you carry your purchases to your car, to our freeinstrument trials, my team and I are always happy to help.I would like to take this opportunity to thank our generouscontributors and advertisers in keeping this publication greenand free to you. Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy our latest issue.Yours truly,Fung LimIn this Issue...KBB Music Festival Update 5Passion for Music TakesDirector to ChicagoMidwest Side Stories #3 -Concert Highlights from the2009 Midwest ClinicKindy Korner: Teaching KeyboardBasics to Children Under 5Review: 2010 KBB Music YoungPerformers’ CompetitionKiwi Composers to Sydney forInternational Festival78-9101213How to Look After Your Flute 14What your Conductor WishesYou KnewWarm Up Room or WarRoom?1516KBB Music Term Three Specials 17-23KBB Music LaunchesNew WebsiteKBB Music has a new website!

andomRFEATURE ARTICLEMidwest Side Stories #3Concert Highlights from the 2009 Midwest ClinicBy Hamish Arthur, Winner of the 2009 KBB Midwest ScholarshipEastman Wind Ensemblewl cl ltr. gng 2 c e.mrsls qt + eweOne of my personal highlights for 2009was being able to send the above textmessage to my wife on Friday December17 while I was attending the 63rd AnnualMidwest Clinic in Chicago. The translationof the text message is as follows:I’ll call you later. I’m going to see concertsby the Ellis Marsalis Quartet andthe Eastman Wind EnsembleTo be able to see artists of the caliberof legendary jazz pianist Ellis Marsalis(Wynton’s Dad) and the world renownedEastman Wind Ensemble within the sameevening gives you some idea of the calibreof musicians that were performingfor the entire week of the clinic – over40 band and orchestra concerts selectedfrom middle schools, high schools, colleges/universities,military organizationsand community-based music groupsacross America as well some internationalguest ensembles from Belgium andSpain.Of course it was impossible to attend allof the concerts on offer as many wereoccurring concurrently. It was important,therefore, to work out your daily schedulewell in advance to ensure that youdidn’t miss the groups you were interestedin hearing. It’s actually quite similarto attending the Big Day Out exceptthat you don’t have to contend with allthe slam-dancing, “interesting” aromas,www.kbbmusic.co.nzobscene t-shirts and sullenlooks from angsty teenagersmuttering “what’sthat old guy doing here?”.Despite the timetablingclashes and other logisticalobstacles I was able toattend 20 performancesfrom a variety of concertbands, jazz bands,orchestras and chamberensembles – the highlights of which arepresented below.CONCERT BANDSNaturally, it would be hard not to ratethe performance of the aforementionedEastman Wind Ensemble(EWE) as one of the highlights ofthe clinic. This is a group that hasbeen at the forefront of wind bandmusic since the 1950’s under thedirection of legendary conductorssuch as Frederick Fennell andDonald Hunsberger – the latterof whom led the group for 37years. The current conductor,Mark Davis Scatterday, was appointedin 2002 and based onhis performance with the groupat the clinic it is clear that he isa highly gifted musician who hasmaintained the legacy of this groupmost notably in their glorious tone,impeccable intonation and stunningdynamic control. The same observationscould be made for many of the other“...The lasting memories I have are ofstunning performances, great music,huge ensembles...and incredible musiciansof all ages playing with utmostconviction and committment to continuethe Midwest Clinic legacy.”Concert Bands who performed at theClinic with equally impressive performancesfrom the VanderCook Collegeof Music Symphonic Band, the San JoseWind Symphony and the Clear LakeHigh School Wind Ensemble. The onedisappointing aspect of the Concert Bandperformances was the lack of“classic” band repertoirebeing programmed. Infact, the majority ofthe repertoire beingperformed had eitherbeen written in thepast 2-3 years or hadKeith Brion8 100% Recycled Paper

een commissioned especially for theMidwest Clinic. Many of these new workswere interesting and very challenging,however, a number of the compositionswere rather generic and would have providedmore ammunition to the critics ofconcert band repertoire such as StephenBudiansky (check out his entertainingarticle “The Kids Play Great, But ThatMusic…” at www.budiansky.com/music.html). This was definitely not the casewith Keith Brion (pictured at bottom ofprevious page) and his New Sousa Band,however, who performed an entertainingselection of traditional band worksfinishing with “The Stars and Stripes Forever”complete with the tuba section (5players) coming to the front of the bandto perform the famous piccolo solo.andomRFROM TOP: Jose Antonio Diaz - Caliente;Mark O’Connor; United States Air Force -Airmen of NoteJAZZ BANDSAs expected, the standard of the JazzBands performing at the Clinic wasequally impressive with every groupdisplaying great ensemble work, rhythmicintensity, stylistic integrity, wonderfulsoloing and tremendous stagepresence and energy. Nowhere was thismore evident than in the performanceby Caliente – a youth ensemble fromHouston specializing in Latin music andled by renowned educator José AntonioDiaz. I was fortunate enough to hearthis group twice as they happened to bestaying in my hotel and one night afterreturning from the Clinic I heard a noisecoming from the basement that soundedlike a great party was going on. Uponinvestigation it turned out that Calientewere rehearsing in a cramped storagearea and like the pied piper they hadsummoned a considerable audience frommy fellow guests keen to discover wherethis amazing sound was coming from. Thefollowing evening I was fortunate enoughto see the band present their programmeat the Midwest Clinic and it was, quitesimply, stunning. I have never seen a jazzband play with such energy and manyaudiences members responded by dancingin the aisles. One of the highlightsof the performance was hearing theband play easy grade 1-2 arrangementsof “Cubano Chant” by Ray Bryant and“Rumba Latina” by Victor Lopez with thesame passion and commitment that theyperformed their more challenging repertoiresuch as “Frenzy” by Mario Bauzaand “Café Cubano” by guest flute soloist(and Latin Grammy winner) Nestor Torres.Honorable mention should also be givento the impressive performances by theLas Vegas Academy Jazz Band (featuringguest saxophone soloist Tom Scott), theWillis Junior High Jazz Band (featuringguest trombone soloist Dean Sorenson)and the US Airforce Airmen of Note whoperformed selections from their “CoolYule” CD - a collection of ChristmasCarols arranged in the style of big bandclassics (download some free samplesfrom their official website -www.usafband.af.mil).Musical Instrument Specialists since 1888ORCHESTRAS/CHAMBERENSEMBLESUnfortunately being a “band person” Ididn’t get a chance to see many of thestring based ensembles on display butI did manage to see memorable performancesby the Murica Youth SymphonyOrchestra from Spain performing anexciting programme of music from theirhomeland (“Luis Alsonoso’s Wedding” byGeronimo Giménez featured two castanetplayers to reinforce it’s Spanish-ness– Olé!) and from a chamber perspective Iwas captivated by violinist and educatorMark O’Connor and his American SpringCelebration which featured a small 8piece ensemble of violins, viola, cello,guitar and bass playing joyful and expressiverenditions of American folk workstogether with original compositions suchas O’Connor’s beautiful “AppalachiaWaltz” – a highlight of the entire Clinic.9Of course an article such as this onlyscratches the surface of what is on offerin terms of the concerts at the MidwestClinic. The lasting memories I have areof stunning performances, great music,huge ensembles (several groups between80 -100 members) and incredible musiciansof all ages playing with utmost convictionand commitment to continue theMidwest Clinic legacy. The one glaringomission from my review is the concertput on by the Chicago Symphony OrchestraBrass Section – a performance somemorable it will receive its own articlein the next issue of Random Notes.For a full list of the performances (andconcert video footage) from the 2009Midwest Clinic visit the website: www.midwestclinic.org. •Hamish’s trip to the 2009 Midwest Clinic wouldnot have been possible without financial assistancefrom Edgewater College, Epsom GirlsGrammar, Pakuranga College, Rangitoto College,Sancta Maria College and the George & GleniseArthur retirement fund – cheers!Special thanks also to Simon Hocking fromHouse of Travel who organized all of the traveland accommodation.KBB Music Freephone 0800 775 226

andomREARLY CHILDHOODTeaching the Keyboard Basicsto Children Under 5Kindy KornerBy Louise Shand-Van Tongeren and Julie Wyliewww.juliewyliemusic.comThe Julie Wylie Early Childhood Music School is based in Christchurch, and sees JulieWylie & Louise Shand-van Tongeren regularly invited to present internationally, includingFinland, Korea, Italy, Australia, Estonia and the UK. The school was established to provideMusical Play classes for young children and their families and provides professionaldevelopment and workshops in the Art, Science & Psychology of Musical Play in EarlyChildhood. Julie & Louise are also Pediatric Music Specialists at the Champion Centre,Early Intervention Trust and are sought after presenters in the field of music in specialeducation. Julie’s Sing & Play series of award-winning children’s CDs are available fromthe website www.juliewyliemusic.comPhotography: Paul Tatterson (www.paultatterson.com)Children love to explore the piano or a keyboard, and havinga few games up your sleeve to play with children on a pianois a great way to encourage them and to start fostering theirlove of playing. We run a beginner’s keyboard group as part ofour Early Childhood Music School and below are some of theactivities that we regularly use in the class to really encouragechildren’s musicality, creativity and lifelong love of music.Fun, Creative & Movement BasedTeaching the basics of any instrument at this age should bebased on fun games, activities that promote listening, opportunitiesto learn through whole body movement and opportunitiesfor creative play. Children need the chance to explore all ofthe elements of music in ways that provide time for their owncreative input. For eg, once we have taught the children a particularscale such as the Harmonic Minor (which young brainslove!) the children each have turns making up little songs in thisexciting new key, accompanied by the teacher.Children learn best when their whole bodies are involved in theplay, and young children can struggle to focus for long periodsof time. Teach elements such as beat / rhythm; dynamics;major/minor; pitch and changing metre by getting the childrendancing, using balls and balloons, hoops, the Rainbow Ring,drums, throwing and catching games and expressive movement.Story TellingBooks and made up stories are fabulous at the piano. Wellloved books such as ‘Hairy Maclairy’ can be sung and playedto. Children can play the music for various animals in stories– such as elephants down in the bass and little butterflies upat the top end of the piano. Encourage them to carefully thinkabout how each animal’s music might sound. Books such as OldMacDonald Had a Farm are wonderful – children can learn toplay the line E-I-E-I-O on the piano (eeddc) when a space is leftfor them in the music.Pentatonic PlayA great way to foster children’s excitement on the piano isto play together on the black notes so that you are using thePentatonic scale. Keep a steady beat as you play and encouragethem to use good hand positioning. Up to 4 children can playtogether on the black notes once they all have a steady senseof rhythm.Teach the Scale by Number as well as by NoteFind C (ask them to find all of the Cs on the piano!) and thensing up the octave 1-8. Spend lots of time singing and playingwith this scale as it helps children realise that something is differentonce you start exploring the minors / starting on differentnotes / changing keys.Teach Simple Nursery RhymesChildren love to be able to play the songs they can sing. Showthem how to start the song but then encourage them to singand listen to work out small sections on their own. Children asyoung as 4 are capable of doing this with support from an adult.Make sure you keep it fun, engaging and non-threatening.Twinkle Twinkle1 1 5 5 6 6 54 4 3 3 2 2 15 5 4 4 3 3 25 5 4 4 3 3 21 1 5 5 6 6 54 4 3 3 2 2 1Row Row Row1 1 1 2 33 2 3 4 58 8 85 5 53 3 31 1 15 4 3 2 1Mary had a Little Lamb3 2 1 2 3 3 32 2 23 5 53 2 1 2 3 3 33 2 2 3 2 1www.kbbmusic.co.nz10 100% Recycled Paper

Kiwi Composersin Sydney forInternationalFestivalandomRBy Glenda KeamPresident of Composers’Association of New Zealand(CANZ),Piano Burning by Annea Lockwood. Phtography: Emily Sandrussi (ABC)A group of NZ composers headedoff to Sydney at the end of April for theWorld New Music Days, the annual festivalof the International Society for ContemporaryMusic (ISCM). This worldwideshowcase of recent composition is heldin a different country each year, and 2010was the first year since the foundation’sinception 88 years ago to have a festivalin the Southern Hemisphere.Our trans-Tasman neighbours were veryhospitable, and the music of eleven NZcomposers was performed at variousvenues in western and central Sydney.We were also very well represented bythe NZ Trio, who performed a concert ofalmost exclusively kiwi music at the EugeneGoessens Hall in the ABC building.The ABC were extraordinarily supportiveof the festival, and recorded all of theconcerts either for live broadcast orsubsequent release. They also set up adedicated ISCM radio station streamedfrom their website (http://www.abc.net.au/classic/iscm2010) which is still ‘live’.Expatriate New Zealander Annea Lockwoodhad two sound installationspresented including her infamous PianoBurning, and Eve de Castro-Robinson’sMusical Instrument Specialists since 1888Gilded Blessing was also installed for theduration. Ensemble Offspring performedBruce Crossman’s Not Broken BruisedReed, and Alexandra Hay’s Part/s, whileHay’s Fugue was performed later in theweek by Chronology Arts. Robbie Ellis’Drying Music featured in the MomentaryPleasures concert presented by pianostudents of the Sydney Conservatorium,while Match Percussion and Michael Dukeperformed Miriama Young’s Snapdragon,and The Song Company presented GarethFarr’s Les Murray Song Cycle, written forthem as a result of the AMC/SOUNZ jointinitiative Trans-Tasman Composer Exchange.The NZ Trio’s wonderful concertincluded works they had commissionedfrom Chris Cree Brown (The Triumvirate),Judy Bailey (So Many Rivers), Chris Gendall(Intaglio), Wayan Yudane (Enteringthe Stream), John Psathas (Helix) and JackBody (Fire in the Belly). Body’s radiophonicwork Intimate History no 2: Sstevewas also broadcast during the festival.Almost without exception, these workswere heard in Australia for the first time.Of the NZ composers whose works wereperformed, six were able to attend inperson. Other NZ composers who attendedthe festival included Glenda13Keam and Carol Shortis (delegates to theISCM General Assembly, which held aseries of meetings during the week), RossCarey, James Gardner, John Rimmer andAlex Taylor, as well as SOUNZ ExecutiveDirector Julie Sperring. In addition tomeeting senior composers from all overthe world, they were able to strengthenrelationships with their trans-Tasmancounterparts, and network with Australianensembles, programmers and broadcasters,all of whom showed a keen interest inour recent music. •NZ Trio.

andomRHow to Look After your FluteAs recommended by KBB Music’s Repair TechniciansAssembling the instrument12Wipe off any dirt or foreign matter from the tenons andsockets to keep the joints fitting easily together.Try not to press the keys when assembling. Hold theinstrument carefully and slowly rotate the parts to join themtogether.3Use the marking on the joints (if available) as a guide foraligning the head joint to the body. Note that keys bendeasily. Be careful not to squeeze the keywork during assembly, aspad adjustments might be affected.4If the joints are tight, re-wipe joints and sockets with a dryclean cloth. Do not use grease or lubricant of any kind, asthis will attract dirt and foreign matter. If they are still too tightbring it to KBB Music for adjustment.TuningTuning is accomplished by pulling the head joint slightly apartfrom the body. Do not attempt to adjust the head joint crown andattached cork assembly without proper supervision or direction.Care of InteriorAfter playing, any moisture in the instrument needs to be removed.1Insert the corner of a lint-free gauze cleaning cloth throughthe hole at the top of the cleaning rod . Wrap the clotharound the cleaning rod making sure that the top of the cleaningrod is completely covered. Insert the cloth covered rod intothe top of the flute main body and push it right the way through,pulling it out the other end. Make sure it is not too tight anddon’t pull it backwards or it may get stuck. Repeat this severaltimes until dry.2Repeat step 1 for the footjoint and headjoint. You can’t pushthe cleaning rod right through the head so be careful tohold on to the end of the cloth so you can pull it back out.3If the cloth gets stuck, don’t attempt to force it or pull itout as this can cause serious damage. Bring it to KBB Musicfor removal.4Wipe down tenons and sockets to remove moisture and anyforeign matter to keep the joints fitting properly and avoidthe chance of corrosion on tenons.5It is advisable not to consume any sugar baseddrinks or food before playing your instrument asthis may cause sticky pads. Drinking a glass of waterbefore you play is helpful to reduce these problems.Care of ExteriorRemove any dirt, including fingerprints from thesurface of the instrument with a clean lint freepolishing cloth. Take care not to rub the edgesof the pads as this will damage the pad skins.Special cloths are available to minimise scratchingthe plating and assist in removing tarnish.Liquid polish can cause a lot of damage to the pads and mechanisms,so take extreme care if you use these products. We recommendusing an impregnated polishing cloth such as the LeblancProfessional Polishing Cloth which has special cleaning agents, inpreference to liquid polish.Storing the Instrument1The case should always be used for storing the instrumentafter playing, and for transporting it. The case is designedto prevent dirt and dust from accumulating on the instrument, aswell as to protect the pads and keys from damage and temperature/humiditychanges. Do not put anything in the case whichmight put pressure on the instrument and/or keys.2Periodically vacuum clean the inside of the case to avoid dirtand dust from building up and getting into the instrument.3We recommend that you have your instrument serviced oncea year to keep it in good playing order. •In the next issue: How to Look After your Brass InstrumentGot instruments that need a little TLC?Give KBB Music’s Technical Team a call!Qualified Technicians with over 35 years of combinedexperience, fast and efficient turnaround at reasonablerates.

andomRWhat your conductor wishes you knew…A list of tips and tricks David Squire would want choir singers to know.1. Punctuality! The first commitment at the time of a choir rehearsalis the choir rehearsal – if this is a problem, make sureyou let the conductor know.2. Own warm-ups – on the way to rehearsal. Humming, etc.3. Attentiveness! Aim to be the smartest, quickest, most enthusiasticand positive chorister in the choir!4. Maintain your instrument – singing lessons. Decent vocaltechnique. Make a raised palate a habit! Good food, vocalhealth, etc.5. 2B pencil! Mark your score! Lots! Conductors don’t actuallyenjoy going over the same mistakes several times.6. Hold music up! Don’t move your head! Avoid a vertical tennismatch!7. Sing what’s on the page first (pitch, rhythm, dynamics, articulation,lyrics, etc).8. Let the conductor shape the phrase by watching the gesturesin front of you – particularly when you know the piece wellenough to get your head out of the score.9. Work hard and play hard.10. Sing the text! It is often amazing poetry.11. Research! YouTube, Wikipedia, iTunes, borrowed/bought CDs,public library…12. Own sectionals – own volition! Use your initiative!13. Learn to read music! Then learn to sight-read music! You willbe a much more useful member of the choir, and the choirwill be able to do much more.14. Listen to other choirs. Analyse different choral sounds anddevelop a more in-depth understanding of your art.15. Make suggestions… at appropriate times!16. Listen when you sing – tuning, blend, balance. What are theother parts doing? How does your line fit the whole?17. Keep the conductor musical, not administrative.18. Support the vision! Positive attitude, open mind!19. Don’t save the work just for rehearsals – spend some timeduring the week too, if necessary.20. Don’t chatter! It wastes so much time! Your conductor thinks“They don’t care.”21. Count rests correctly! Use your brain as well as your eyes –cues should only reinforce entries.22. ‘Piano’ doesn’t mean ‘timid’ – support the sound!23. Be prepared to step out of your comfort zone and learnsomething new!24. Make every musical moment unique! ‘Messiah’ for the 100thtime should be as magical for the performers and audienceas the 1st time!25. Your conductor is not infallible – and they know it. Don’t taketo heart the heat of a rash moment!26. Don’t decide that you dislike a piece after one awful sightreadingsession!27. A piece is NEVER ‘finished’ – there’s always another step totake to improve it, or another perspective to enhance it.28. Develop some understanding of the International PhoneticAlphabet (IPA), and apply it when singing in different languages.29. Look over your music on the day of a concert in order to lookat it less during the concert.30. Take some time to be quiet and focus your mind immediatelybefore the concert.Overall: You are in a team whereeveryone has responsibility for thesound – not just the conductor!2010New Zealand Concert Bands Festival6-8 August, Lindisfarne College, HastingsProudly sponsored byPlease direct all Festival enquiries to:Don McLaurin (President) don@nzcba.comDavid Dobson (Secretary) brass@banz.org.nzwww.nzcba.comMusical Instrument Specialists since 188815KBB Music Freephone 0800 775 226

andomRWarm Up Roomor War Room?Getting Ready Prior to the Big PerformanceBy Gary GribbleThe warm up room is a critical areathat can make or break a performance.Personally, I advocate a calm approachthat is identical to our daily rehearsalprocedure. I want the students to feelprepared, comfortable, and focused priorto moving on stage. The last thing I wantis to make them nervous or uncomfortableby throwing new concepts or a newsequence on them minutes before theirbig performance. If I appear frantic orrushed, they will become uneasy. I try tokeep things moving at a steady pace andto cover all necessary aspects of warm upand tuning without any added drama.Unfortunately, pressure can causesome of us to panic and change from acaring instructor to a raving lunatic duringour warm up period. Know what youwant to do before entering the room. Rehearseyour warm up procedures in yourclassroom. Use an identical time periodto the one you will have on performanceday. If you run out of time before youare finished, it causes discomfort andnervousness in the students.Use the same tuning procedures inwarm up that you use in class. If the firsttime you individually tune each studentis on performance day, you are wastingyour (and their) time. Finally, the warmup room is no place to have a “musicalepiphany” and make radical changes inyour performance literature.Make sure that you give adequatetime to physically get the instruments totemperature and fully functional. Hopefully,you have warned your reed playersnot to bring a brand new reed to the performance.Likewise, brass players shouldnot totally clean out the instrument theMelissa Carter (right) with student.night before the big event. Nothing iswww.kbbmusic.co.nzmore frustrating than to have newly createdsound problems, pitch problems,or non-functioning instruments minutesbefore your performance. You wanteverythingto functionjust as it didin your lastrehearsal (assumingthat itwas a successfulone!).“I always remind theensemble that they are agroup working as one ratherthan a series of soloists tryingto save the day on stage.”Play your regular fundamental exercisesbefore you touch up literature.Remember, you are in warm up, not afull rehearsal session. Start each selection,review crucial moments of tempochange, key change, etc. Allow soloiststo touch up their solos, but do not tryto do a full performance in addition toyour warm up. Save some energy andspontaneity for the stage. Your advancepreparation is the key to the successduring your performance, not a few lastminute miracles.Have an official “time keeper” to giveyou updates on the amount of timeremaining. If you have rehearsed usingthe same format as you will use on performanceday, you should not run out oftime. If you plan to give a final pep talkbefore exiting warm up, plan that intoyour procedure. You want to maintain thedecorum of the event and to keep thingsrunning on schedule.I also try to point out several positiveaspects before making any corrections. Ifyou point out only the things that are goingwrong, it might seem to the studentsthat they are not fully prepared for theupcoming performance. If you reinforcethe things that they are doing well, theywill relax and play with more confidence.Remember that you are dealing withyoung men and women that are emotionaland excitable. The added adrenalinerush just prior to a big performance,especiallyan evaluatedone, can pushthem overthe edge andcause moreproblems ifallowed toescalate. Ialways remind the ensemble that theyare a group working as one rather than aseries of soloists trying to save the dayon stage. Cooperation and mutual supportare far more important than trying toput in a lot of extra effort on the stage…especially if the effort has been far lessduring rehearsals! •Gary D.
