Marking the Parts





One of the most productive ways to prepare music is to learn how to mark the parts. Marking parts requires highlighting various aspects of the music (meter shifts; crescendos/diminuendos; dynamics; tempo markings; coda signs; etc.,) that shape and define the overall design of the composition. The visual articulation of these musical parameters (in different colors) will help students do a better job of preparing and interpreting the music. No one should ever mark in ink or a use a permanent marker on an original part since doing so would deface the printed music. I recommend copying the music and making the requsite marks to enhance the visual comprehension of the composition.
