About this title

Synopsis

A comprehensive and practical music course, covering Key Stage 3 of the National Curriculum and GCSE. While essentially performance-based, all other aspects of National Curriculum requirements - including listening, composing, appraising - form an integral part of the course. The core of "The Music Factory" is a flexible Teacher Resource Book containing 120 practical activities for classroom music-making. Linked to this resource book is a series of Instrumental Workbooks for keyboard, guitar, bass guitar and percussion, which complement and support the Teacher Resource Book by approaching the teaching of concepts in a similar way, and encouraging a creative approach to learning an instrument. There is also a separate volume of Ensemble Scores for group performance. The 14 Ensemble Scores range in style from arrangements of medieval dances to short original works in contemporary idioms, plus two graphic scores. They encourage students to participate in group performance.

The course aims to provide classroom teachers with an inexhaustible fund of ideas for creative activities, closely tailored to National Curriculum requirements, and with a very useful resource for teaching the popular instruments.
