| jazzzmom, I not sure I understand your question. The rep list usually includes those pieces only performed publically. To generalize, this would include recitals, hs/yo/ringer performances, competiton, festival, regional/all state/municipal participation, paid and unpaid (church, community/nursing home) gigs, studio presentations.
It might also include pieces currently being worked on at a fairly high level in anticipation of an upcoming performance. As a reference point, my son doesn't add to the list until he's performed the piece.
I just peeked again at son's list (classical performer) and he has the main categories of solo, chamber, orchestal, and Broadway/Pop, and an alpha listing by composer and title within each subsection. I also note that he has some major instrument specific etudes and studies listed as a subhead as well. This format is consistent with what I consider the "norm" for a classical performer.
I don't want to steer you down the wrong path, and the parameters may vary for a jazz musician. In the classical world, it's assumed most solo work is performed from memory; orchestral and ensemble music normally entails the sheet music on a stand in front of the musicians.
Perhaps the nature of jazz performance (particularly small ensembles) precludes music on a stand for the performers?
I hope others chime in here. I'm not a musician, and I would hate to give you wrong advice. |
