See?
Anyways, what music teacher doesn't want to encourage their students to create their own music? We've done improvisation, we've even created melodic and rhythmic ostinatos. I think we should take it a step further.
So, I created this Power Point: Flight Night. With it, we'll follow the path of music creation from inspiration to recording/reflection, with lots of vocabulary and fun thrown in. The great thing is that I can print out the slides three per page with room for notes.
As the next step, the students would write a song in their groups, using a certain picture as inspiration and following the steps. I'm still working on what this worksheet would look like.
After I've checked the group songs, we would learn each song as a class.
Lastly, as an assessment, the students would write their own songs independently. I'd provide extra worksheets for students who wanted to create a song on their own time.
We'll see how it goes - check back for worksheets.
