Students create music in easy keys, meters, and rhythms with limited ranges accurately applying the knowledge and skills of notation: symbols, terminology of dynamics. Students perform music of various styles and genres.
1. CHOOSE A PLANET OR ASTROLOGICAL SIGN OR ASTRONOMY SUBJECT OR MYTH TO INSPIRE YOUR ORIGINAL COMPOSITION FOR PIANO. FIND A PIECE OF COMPOSITION PAPER.
2. WRITE 4/4 TIME AFTER THE TREBLE AND BASS CLEF. USE QUARTER NOTES, HALF NOTES, WHOLE NOTES, EIGHTH NOTES AND SIXTEENTH NOTES IN YOUR COMPOSITION.
3. CREATE AN OSTINATO TO USE IN YOUR PIECE, AS IN MARS. (REPEATED RHYTHMIC OR MELODIC PATTERN) USE C POSITION NOTES. USE OTHER HAND POSITIONS IF YOU KNOW HOW TO PLAY THEM ON THE PIANO.
4. BE SURE TO ADD A MEASURE LINE EVERY FOUR BEATS, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AT LEAST 32 MEASURES WHEN THE COMPOSITION IS COMPLETE. BEGIN AND END ON C.
5. BE SURE YOUR STEMS ARE GOING THE CORRECT WAY. DOWN ON THE LEFT ABOVE THE MIDDLE LINE, UP ON THE RIGHT BELOW THE MIDDLE LINE.
6. BE SURE YOU ARE USING NOTES YOU KNOW HOW TO PLAY, SO YOU CAN PERFORM YOUR PIECE.
7. IF YOUR LEFT HAND OR YOUR RIGHT HAND IS NOT PLAYING, YOU MUST ADD RESTS TO SHOW SILENCE IN ONE HAND OR ANOTHER.
8. FINISH THIS SECTION OF YOUR PIECE FIRST BEFORE YOU PLAY IT, THEN WHEN YOU PLAY IT YOU CAN CHANGE WHATEVER YOU WISH TO MAKE IT BETTER OR MORE INTERESTING.
9. NOW, AFTER THE 32 MEASURES ADD AS MUCH AS YOU CAN OR WANT TO TO YOUR PIECE, AT LEAST 10 MORE MEASURES, AND YOU CAN WRITE THIS DOWN IN ANY WAY YOU WISH, NOT USING CONVENTIONAL NOTATION IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO.
10. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF THERE IS ANYTHING YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. ESSENTIAL FOR YOUR SUCCESS IN ANY PROJECT IS ASKING QUESTIONS OR ASKING FOR HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT!
