This practical guide to new, innovative, and natural composition techniques for young composers brings a wealth of experience from two renowned music educators to bear. The unique and thoughtfully curated series of materials helps teachers connect music education to young composers' everyday emotions and activities. Divided into four sections, this book is a roadmap for instilling a sense of creative independence in students ages 8-11. The first section introduces three distinct compositional ideals that are as educationally significant as the music they help create. Section two includes fun and imaginative lessons that are accompanied by "sketchpages" - graphic worksheets that support deep consideration of a project's purpose during the compositional process. Section three offers guidance and strategies for sharing work, providing feedback, and encouraging future growth in a manner that fosters a positive learning experience and acknowledges each composer's musical autonomy. Section four contains additional teacher guides focused on creating original music in different genres. 10689701 Paperback Book . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 24.95 n Exploring Orff (A Teacher's Guide)Arvida Steen.
