All students will purchase a metronome which provides a loud click and subdivides beats into duple and triple figures (Dr. Beat recommended) and a fully chromatic pitch-generating analog tuner. I strongly suggest the Korg TM-40 Digital Metronome Tuner. If you own an Apple device like an iPhone, iPad, or iTouch you should look into purchasing the Tonal Energy App.

Note – For each year of study, additional solo repertoire will be assigned on an individual basis.
