Description

The Cambridge Assignments in Music series offers a diverse range of resources, including books, audio cassettes, and CDs that cover topics such as the History of Music and Popular Music. The latest installment introduces 12 innovative projects that enhance listening skills and musical appreciation through original compositions by John Howard, specifically crafted for classroom settings. Each project guides students through five distinct stages: learning, rehearsing, and performing a designated piece; discussing its characteristics; examining structural elements and compositional techniques that link it to a renowned 'master work'; utilizing supplementary information about the 'master work'; and finally, engaging in creative responses through composing, improvising, and further discussions.
