SUMMARY:Solo Instrumental - [Section 10] Contemporary Instrumental Duet
DESCRIPTION:Event Name: Contemporary Instrumental Duet\nLocation: Southern Cross Catholic College Burwood – Auditorium\nSection Number: 10 \nGeneral Category Guidelines:\nPlease be advised these sections are based first on grade\, then age. For example\, if a section comprises students in Grade 3 between ages 10-13\, they are considered to be of the same playing standard and may compete together. The Eisteddfod Team will endeavour to group similar ages together where possible. \nEisteddfod grades are based upon grade levels of the Australian Music Examinations Board (A.M.E.B.) Performers may select their grade level from Grade 1 – Grade 8. When selecting your Grade (if you do not play traditional grade exams)\, it can often be found on the music or you can search online for the difficulty of the piece. If you are having trouble determining the Grade of the music\, please feel free to contact the Eisteddfod Team for assistance. \n1 piece or 1 movement from a piece only to be performed. \nTeachers are not permitted to perform in any Duo/Trio/Quartet Section except as an accompanist. \nPerformers/schools must provide their own piano/instrumental accompanist. Accompaniment may be provided by a backing track or by a live accompanist. For ALL instrumental sections\, an accompaniment (live or recorded) MUST be provided\, unless the piece was written intentionally to be performed unaccompanied. \nBacking tracks must be instrumental harmonic tracks only with no melodic or vocal line. See General Participation Guidelines for backing track submission requirements. \nThe repertoire is to be appropriate to all audiences\, and should be aligned with SCS’ mission\, vision and values \nSection Specific Guidelines:\nTime limits must not exceed stipulated section time limits:\nGrade 1 – Grade 4: 3 minutes\nGrade 5 – Grade 8: 5 minutes \nInstrumentation should consist of any contemporary or electronic instruments\, and any instrument used in contemporary music (including pop\, rock\, jazz and cultural instruments). \nPiano may be used in these sections but the piano must play a distinct part and not accompany another instrument. If music is not provided adjudicators will only be able to judge what they can hear. \nStudents in this section must adhere to the same grading guidelines as solo performers. Performers in a single Duo entry may be of different Grades\, but will be programmed based on the highest Grade level between a group’s performers entrants. \nEach entrant in this section must be entered individually by a parent or guardian. Within that registration\, each other performer’s name must be listed to corroborate entries. \n***Please note\, this is not a Vocal Section – entrants should not sing in this section*** \nProvided Equipment:\nMusic Stands & Chairs \n1 Guitar amp \n1 Bass amp \nDirect Input for acoustic guitars \n1 Standard Drum Kit \nGrand Piano or Weighted Keys (subject to availability) \nPerformers must advise of any additional amplification/effects to be used in their performance as part of their registration. \nPerformers WILL supply any further amplification or effects required i.e. distortion pedal\, and must advise of any additional amplification/effects to be used in their performance as part of their registration. \n  \nJudging Criteria:\n\nTechnical fluency and facility.\nIntonation.\nRhythm.\nSolo performance expression.\nEnsemble awareness including communication with accompanist / other performer / familiarity with backing track\nDynamics and articulation appropriate to style.\nSolo awareness\, communication with accompanist/familiarity with backing track.\n\nImmediate Point Deductions:\n\n2 point deduction per 20 seconds over time.\n2 point deduction for a teacher or adult playing accompaniment that is more a part than accompaniment.\n100% points deduction for any explicit language on a backing track\, and no places will be awarded\, only written feedback given by the adjudicator.
