Course Description

Students in this course will extend their knowledge of lesson planning from Level II, with a focus on grades 4-6, using a variety of materials from Western and non-Western musical traditions. Participants will also complete a system for the storage, use and retrieval of music for classroom teaching purposes. Musicianship skills will expand through analysis, sight-reading, part-work, and dictation. Conducting skills will develop to include strategies for working with a small orchestra and children's choir. Each Level III conductor will prepare, rehearse, and conduct a piece for the final performance.
