Creative Music Writing - 3 sheets.

Unlike the other sets, these three sheets are intended to be introduced one after the other.  They have two main purposes, one to stimulate the children's interest in creating their own musical sound patterns, the other (unstated) to encourage the idea of notational relationships, rather than the notion that one note or finger is for ever associated with one particular line or space.

At its simplest, this idea is encouraged by having the pupils extend their composition by repeating it on higher or lower strings.  I agree that to do justice to these lessons, with nine or ten children in a class life for the teacher can be very hectic!

I do not think that it matters that some children will produce patterns mainly for their visual shape.  They can still provide useful talking points - and the teacher can always ask permission to make changes, perhaps to get nearer to what the child intended!
