Thank you! I enjoyed learning this one. 😊

Definitely should have been C natural instead of C sharp ... none of the students learning this for TMEA commented on the error, so either they're being polite or there will be a lot of wrong notes in the audition recordings!

What a great idea! I had not thought about that combination before. Thanks for listening. 😊🎶

Love that verse! Also Ephesians 3:17-19. Thanks for listening!

@bradleykembero9456 Yes, you need to learn both pieces plus the three orchestral excerpts for auditions. The judges will probably ask for a specific section, rather than the whole piece, but they will hear parts of everything.

I can't possibly choose one kind! Like people, there are too many wonderful genres of music to have a favorite. 🎶

@@recitalsbyrebecca Do you like ballet music?

Definitely! Very elegant and fun to play. 🎶

Would you like to do some more ballet music?

I have it in an older version of this book (which only had women's exercises). Not sure if it is in the current edition: www.radenterprises.co.uk/collections/voc-graded-syllabus-music/products/advanced-1-music-book?variant=40849426383011 Thank you for listening! 🎶

To answer your last question first, yes, you will have to play excerpts as well as the etudes. The excerpts were just released on August 1, and I will record them within the next few weeks. Everyone who is eligible will do a recorded audition for all state. We will know the exact cuts for that on September 1, and you'll record at a school campus with a TMEA member monitoring the process. If you live in an area with a lot of piano students auditioning, you may have to do one or two auditions, probably live in front of a panel of judges, to qualify for the recording round. My region does not do region auditions, but we do a "pre-area" elimination round if more people want to audition than the maximum number of slots we have for the recorded round. Hope this helps!

It's in this book. www.radenterprises.co.uk/collections/voc-graded-syllabus-music/products/advanced-foundation-music-book?variant=40849339154595 I can't photograph it for you because that would be a copyright violation, but you could download the full piano reduction from IMSLP and look for this excerpt there if you need a free copy.

​@@recitalsbyrebeccaThank you so much!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

​@@recitalsbyrebeccacan you maybe record the top view of you playing this piece? That would be nice!

​@@recitalsbyrebeccaIt doesn't matter if you don't want to do it, i understand😊

It's a great idea, but, unfortunately, I don't have the right equipment to suspend the camera over the piano. 🫤

Thank you! This variation is deceptively difficult... hope you're enjoying learning it! 😊

So very proud of you

I found it in the RAD Discovering Repertoire 2 book: www.radenterprises.co.uk/collections/discovering-repertoire-4/products/discovering-repertoire-level-2-printed-music?variant=40849568039075 Alternatively, you could download a free copy of the full score from IMSLP, but there are so many pages to leaf through looking for one variation!

Thank you so much! This variation definitely requires a lot of quality time with the metronome. :) Happy Canada Day! I'm looking forward to visiting your beautiful country in a few weeks. 🍁

I found it in this book: shop.radusa.org/product/books/vocational-graded-syllabus-music-books/intermediate-music-book/ You can also download the full score of The Pharaoh's Daughter from IMSLP, but I am having trouble locating the correct excerpt in a PDF of 158 pages! 🎶

@@recitalsbyrebecca thanks!!!!

Thank you so much! Happy practicing 😊

It's in 6/8 and definitely has that feeling of two big beats per measure

That's great!!! All best wishes for a successful performance. :)
