1 Assembly Coordinator: Please Distribute, Post, and Announce! ASSEMBLY DATE: ASSEMBLY TIME: FOR STUDENTS IN: Introduction At we consider ourselves not just great musicians but also great storytellers. Music has an amazing ability to tell a story and in our show we not only display the various aspects of a story and how they have a role in music, but we also share our very own original story too!

3 Teacher Program Guide Artist Bio Marque Brass brings together five virtuoso musicians who deliver unforgettable concerts for listeners of all ages. Merging masterful technique, witty arrangements, and lively presentation, the group delights audiences across the Baltimore-Washington region. Standards: Maryland State Curriculum Standards for Fine Arts: Music Standard 1.0, Perceiving and Responding: Aesthetic Education: Students will demonstrate the ability to perceive, perform and respond to music. Music Standard 2.0, Historical, Cultural, and Social Context: Students will demonstrate an understanding of music as an essential aspect of history and human experience.

4 Teacher Program Guide Vocabulary BRASS QUINTET: A brass quintet is a group of 5 musicians set up like this: 2 Trumpets (the highest voice), a French horn (the middle voice), a Trombone (the upper lower voice), and a Tuba (the lowest voice). While these instruments go from high to low, they also go from small to big (trumpet-tuba). THE TRUMPET: The trumpet is the highest pitched instrument in the brass family. It can play softly and the player sometimes puts a mute in the bell, but on the whole, the trumpet is a loud instrument. THE HORN (THE FRENCH HORN ): The horn, as a rule, has a much more gentle sound than the trumpet. It is a very useful instrument as its tone blends (fits in) with almost any other instrument. It does not play notes as high as a trumpet can, but it has a much bigger range of notes. The horn is the curliest of the brass instruments. The player holds the horn by putting one hand in the bell. The player can soften the tone and control the tuning by simply moving the hand in the bell. THE TROMBONE: Most orchestras have two types of trombone -- tenor and bass trombones. There are usually two tenors and one bass. From a distance a tenor and bass trombone look alike, but the bass is a little bigger and can play lower notes. The trombone is easily recognized by its slide (the long brass tube) which slides in and out. The trombones are the loudest instruments in the orchestra, but they can play softly too. THE TUBA: The tuba is the bass instrument of the brass family. It is even lower than the bass trombone. The tuba does not play by itself any more than the double bass does in the strings. It is a very large instrument, but does not make a very big sound.

5 Teacher Program Guide List of Additional Resources: The videos below provide the inspiration for what we hope to do with our assembly. We want to tell stories with our music. Canadian Brass - Hornsmoke Mnozil Brass Magic Moments The video below is of Jeremy Begbie and his Duke Forward talk on musical storytelling. Pre-Performance Activities: Identify and define the elements of a story (characters, setting, plot, conflict, solution). Have students predict how a story could be told through music alone. Watch one of the inspirational videos and discuss the difference between reading a story and having a story told through music. Post-Performance Activities: Revisit the predictions students made about how a story could be told through music alone. Discuss what they learned through the assembly. Find a story that you have been reading in class and see if you can come up with a soundtrack for your story. Exit Ticket: see the attachment Classroom Handout: can be used before or after the assembly

6 3-2-1 Exit Ticket Share Your Thoughts! (In Class or Take Home) 3 Things you learned during this assembly. 2 Things you really enjoyed. 1 One idea you had about storytelling that has changed. Thank You!

7 BRASS INSTRUMENTS OF THE ORCHESTRA There are four main brass instruments in the orchestra: TRUMPET HORN TROMBONE TUBA THE TRUMPET The trumpet is the highest pitched instrument in the brass family. It can play softly and the player sometimes puts a mute in the bell, but on the whole, the trumpet is a loud instrument. THE HORN (THE FRENCH HORN ) The HORN, as a rule has a much more gentle sound than the trumpet. It is a very useful instrument as its tone blends - fits in - with almost any other instrument. It does not play notes as high as a trumpet can, but it has a much bigger range of notes. The horn is the curliest of the brass instruments. The player holds the horn by putting one hand in the bell. The player can soften the tone and control the tuning by simply moving the hand in the bell. THE TROMBONE Most orchestras have two types of trombone, tenor and bass trombones. There are usually two tenors and one bass. From a distance a tenor and bass trombone look alike, but the bass is a little bigger and can play lower notes. The trombone is easily recognised by its slide - the long brass tube, which slides in and out. The trombones are the loudest instruments in the orchestra, but they can play softly too. 2000, L. Shannon

8 THE TUBA The tuba is the bass instrument of the brass family. It is even lower than the bass trombone. The tuba does not play by itself anymore than the double bass does in the stings. It is a very large instrument, but does not make a very big sound. It is easy to see but hard to hear. Usually in an orchestra, there are two trumpets, four horns, three trombones and one tuba. BRASS FAMILY Brass instruments are simply brass tubes. The player makes the air in the tubes vibrate by blowing in a special way through the mouthpiece.
