Product Description
This pack contains the complete set of resources in the PCU: MELODY series. It comprises 5 performance pieces, all of which focus on melodic movement and direction, and 5 accompanying workbooks with challenging questions and composition activities and basic music analysis. Is is part of the Perform, Compose, Understand Series and is intended for classroom performance by a class made up of 14-16 year-old music students; it is ideal for courses such as the American High School Diploma, GCSE, BTEC, IGCSE, SCS, HKCEE, IB(MYP), SPM, GCEO, CCEF, HKCEE, VSSD, GES or ICSE.
It is designed to cater for almost any instrument due to the parts being provided in many different keys and clefs (including tab and bass tab). Drum parts are intentionally not provided as drummers still need to have a good understanding of non-percussive elements such as melody and harmony; I would suggest that they play a keyboard part for the purposes of learning about composition.
You can also download backing tracks of all pieces in this series by searching:
