Performing & Responding - Howard, John

Description

The 12 projects in this latest addition to the Cambridge Assignments in Music series approach listening and musical appreciation in a new way, through pieces specially composed by John Howard for classroom performance. Within each project students follow five stages: learn, rehearse and perform a piece designed for classroom use; discuss features of that piece; explore structural features and composing devices which connect the piece with a 'master work', a piece by a well-known composer; use supporting information about the 'master work'; respond with work of their own in the form of composing, improvising, further listening and discussion. Cambridge, 1995.
