Ask the experts.	MUS 111 William Wieland
Experts are listed by instrument at Class Ensemble Project — Full Score. (A saxophone major knows more about performing the saxophone than I do.) You may ask the experts outside of class, but ask “our” experts. You are writing for the musicians in our class ensemble.
On the “Ask the experts.” day, I will scatter the class ensemble instrumentalists nearby and ask them to be ready to perform. The writers will move from instrument to instrument and hear each part performed. I will gradually ask the experts to take their own full scores to the other experts.
Experts — Perform your entire part in each full score. (The writers need to hear it.)  — Offer advice.  — If your part is fine, write your initials next to your instrument’s name on the full score.  — If your part needs revision, pencil the revisions where they occur in the score.  — If you initial the music, that tells me that you will perform it well at the end of the semester.
Writers — Listen to each part. Do you hear what you want to hear? (Maybe it will sound different, but good.)  — Ask questions.  — Make revisions until all instrument names are initialed.  — When you have collected all the initials, show your score to Dr. Wieland.
