Listening to Artistic Music, Score Study and Composition Planning

This article has been updated with embedded videos that include three online lessons on Listening, Score Study and Composition Planning in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It works well as a supplement for ensembles who either have performed or intended to perform my "In Two Places", but can also be used for other educational purposes as well. Contact me through my contact form if you'd like the accompanying exercises in PDf format you can assign to your students, and please consider doing a Skype or Zoom call with me and your students as a part of the educational effort!

Grade 1 Band

This article will discuss fourteen of the most played works in the Grade 1 Band category of the Texas Prescribed Music List (PML). I am currently hard at work this Spring creating three new band pieces, and have been intensively studying scores to find patterns as to what the most popular pieces have in common, as well as what makes each piece unique. This part 1 article will discuss the patterns I have discovered in comparing the pieces in terms of key, meter, tempo, difficulty level, theme, length, ranges, melody and harmony.

March of the Shadows

In response to COVID-19, I have created music for band students to play at home! I have taken the melody and "fun lines" from my "March of the Shadows", pasted them all into one part and then copied the music for all instruments. Also included are accompaniment tracks to play along to! Please feel free to embed in LMS systems such as Blackboard and Canvas. And if your students enjoy the music, please consider purchasing and programming from this website for the 2020-2021 school year! I do accept Purchase Orders.
