Get your students composing quicker than you can say "Compose"!
Through the MINI MUSIC books, students are introduced to various concepts through composition. In Book 4, students write 88 short songs through given sets of notes on the Grand Staff which leads up to playing 5-finger scales of C and G Major, and D Minor. This book is set up for students to write out notes in 4 measures using 4/4 and 3/4 times. The final four songs are blank 8 measure songs for students to write "longer" pieces.
There is also a good mix of titled and untitled songs. Most songs give students prompts to give them inspiration before writing, and some include a blank title for students to come up with their own. Creativity is the goal here, and students should enjoy the composing process. This book gives students a chance to do so, in small chunks so you can fit them in lessons!
