Description
Summary:This study discusses the pedagogical value of intermediate solo repertoire for the student trumpeter, utilizing the following solos as a means of discussion: Contempora Suite by Gordon Young, Solo de Concours by Eugene Cools, English Suite by Bernard Fitzgerald, All ‘Antica by Alphonse Goeyens, Aria con Variazioni by G.F. Handel, and Rigel by Hale A. Vandercook. It also explores the place of intermediate solo repertoire in a student’s musical curriculum. In addition to an in depth pedagogical discussion, brief biographical information of each composer, as well as the difficulty level, range, and duration of each solo is included in the study. The solos discussed are featured on required repertoire lists published by state music education associations across the United States. Their overall popularity, yet surprising unavailability in professional recordings, became the foundation for the initial research and pedagogical analysis. === A Treatise submitted to the College of Music in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Music. === Spring Semester 2018. === March 27, 2018. === education, student, trumpet === Includes bibliographical references. === Christopher Moore, Professor Directing Treatise; Steve Kelly, University Representative; Alexander Jimenez, Committee Member; John W.
