MINI MUSIC Book 2 - Reproducible Composing Book for Music Lessons
By ZS Music Publishing
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 2, students write 36 short songs through given sets of notes on the Treble Staff which leads up to learning 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 two songs are blank 8 measure songs for students to write “longer” pieces.
There is also a good mix of titled and untitled songs. Most all 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!
The difference from the other version is this book is ready to print and go! You dont need to worry about chopping pages or binding. You can also just print individual pages for students to complete on their own, or even for exit tickets!
This product is licensed for duplication. You may make copies as needed! You may not share this product with others, but please encourage your colleagues to buy a license so they can use it as well!
