Making Music is an invaluable practical resource for all instrumental and singing teachers. It will ensure that you make the most of every minute of lesson time and gives you the necessary tools to develop a student's musicianship to the full. Making Music presents 200 accessible and imaginative activities to improve students' musical understanding and aural awareness. Subjects include warming up, pulse and rhythm, basic musical elements such as harmonic progression, scales, melody, improvising, and composing. Some less tangible aspects of music-making, such as musical character and expression, are also explored. Suitable for both group and individual lessons, and for students at all stages, Making Music provides a refreshingly practical approach to developing the whole musician.
This book investigates how instrumental and vocal teachers can optimize lesson time through structured, imaginative activities to foster comprehensive student musicianship. Patricia M. Gane, drawing on pedagogical experience, provides a framework that moves beyond technical proficiency to address the holistic development of the musician. The text argues that integrating creative exercises into standard practice routines enhances a student's aural awareness and understanding of musical elements.
