Your research question will center on one of the pieces on your recital. Please provide a short analysis of one of the pieces on your recital (movement or piece 5-10 minutes long) based on Jan LaRue’s SHMRG system (Sound, Harmony, Melody, Rhythm, Growth) that you used in MUST 690. Also, provide a plan to describe how you would either teach the SHMRG elements to a student or use them in your own practicing of that work.

The phrase length is four bars antecedent/consequent. Growth is indicated by the melody moving into a higher tessitura and added more fast articulation note, like eighth notes changed to sixteen notes and back to eighth notes to tense/release the mood of this piece.
Plan of the SHMRG Performance
Because of SHMRG system, I can analyze piece particularly. When I get a new piece, I can use the Sound system to realize the music idea that composer wants to tell us and the dynamic will be seem very clearly. Using the Harmony system, to analyze the layers and chord in this piece. It is easier to figure out the style of the piece. The Melody part, I can see the music lines and get the direction of the piece. The Rhythm system, we can though the beats to figure out the articulation and the mood changing in this piece. Using Growth system can help us to understand the whole music style and the form. Each of SHMRG system is related. I do these systems in my own practicing and also will teach my students this system to provide the easy way to analyze the piece when they first get
