It is all about understanding melodic movement and direction.Welcome to the PCU Series for classroom-based groups. This series focuses on learning by doing; there are many accomplished performers within our school classrooms throughout the world, but my years of experience has taught me that many of these students learn to play by rote – literally be learning one note followed by another – without gaining full understanding of how the pieces work musically and theoretically. Indeed, some of them can perform to a high standard using this method, but then really struggle with composition and general musical understanding later in their educational careers.I equate this to learning to speak sentences in a foreign language without fully understanding what those sentences actually mean.So who is this book for?It is for music teachers to use with their students who are learning to create exam-level compositions within a school environment. It is ideal for courses such as the American High School Diploma, GCSE, IGCSE, SCS, HKCEE, IB(MYP), SPM, GCEO, CCEF, HKCEE, VSSD, GES or ICSE.It is designed to cater for almost any instrument due to the parts being provided in many different keys and clefs (including tab and bass tab). Drum parts are intentionally not provided as drummers still need to have a good understanding of non-percussive elements such as melody and harmony; I would suggest that they play a keyboard part for the purposes of learning about composition.You can also download backing tracks of all pieces in this series by searching:Classroom Performance educational pack: MELODY backing tracksThese contain parts 2-5, allowing part 1 to be played live over the top.  How to use this resourceThis pack comprises three stages, the third of which should be gained from success with the first two:1.

Alternatively, the alto flute part can also be played by the violin, English horn or clarinet. The corresponding parts are also included.

Indigo Mesa Music LLC #722039. Published by Indigo Mesa Music LLC (A0.1120827). Kathleen's notes: I had not originally intended to have a title track for the album A Handfull of Quietness, but I am so glad to have been given this piece: to hear, to play, to share. Not too long before I was going to record the CD, my friend Phyllis commented that it needed a title track. I felt the music was all complete as it was; “a handfull of quietness� was the title of the CD, it didn’t need to be the title of the song. As is so often the case, Phyllis was right. About 10 days or so before my recording sessions, this music came to me in one complete thought. I knew immediately that it was the anticipated title track. Lyrical, calm, soothing. Suitable for use in church.

He’s our saving One.Be ye still and watch until all victories are won.
