Description
The Unlocking Student Creativity through Composition is the perfect book for any teacher or student who wants to begin their Music Composition journey. Building on a decade’s worth of hands-on experience in teaching rookie, student composers, Getz shows how easy and powerful the craft of music composition can be for developing musicians. His after-school composition group, the Composers’ Guild, annually presents a recital of world premieres through an amazing evening event called In Their Own Write. Getz trains his composers through several workshops that introduce and foster compositional techniques that can be applied across a wide range of musical experience.
The book is laid out in two parts. The first walks the reader through the essential workshops needed for a student to go from a blank page to a finished piece of music. The second part focuses on creating an experience where that music can be heard and their creativity celebrated with their family, friends, and community. Along the way, you will find lesson plan templates, audio and video examples from Composers’ Guild students, and one too many analogies built off of Christopher Nolan movies. This is the perfect book for any teacher who wishes to cultivate an atmosphere of creativity in their classroom, as well as for any student who wishes to start writing music today!
