The Education Project

Project List


The Project

FOR THOSE UNDERTAKING TEACHING MODULES ONLY

Plan and compose a piece for a specified group of young people or a single person. They should be between the ages of 4 and 14. Arrange to have the piece performed by the specified group/person.

Examples of what you might do include:

  1. A choral work for school choir with or without accompaniment.
  2. A set of progressive pieces for an instrument and piano or piano solo
  3. A set of pieces for a standard groupng of instruments, (e.g. brass quintet, woodwind quintet, strng quartet, etc.

You should think about or do the following:

  1. Your use of notation - should it be a simpler form of conventional notation or could you devise your own or use a combination of both? Remember the piece(s) should be educational as well as musical and imaginative (or is there a distinction?).
  2. What the teacher is doing at any given point - they ought to be (?!) more skilled at something - would they conduct or could they conduct and play something?
  3. see xxxxxx for advice and suggestions asto whom to approach.
  4. contact local schools.
  5. the finished result will need to be recorded and you will need to provide a commentary based on the project. You will also need to obtain (confidential) comments from whomever is in charge of the project at the institution.

Good luck!
