Graphic Notation Creations in Band

Despite not being able to play instruments in band, we are finding creative ways to educate our students. This week, the Intermediate Concert Band started to learn about Graphic Notation. Using Garage Band software, students composed music to represent a graphic score, writing for 6 different parts – creating their own electronic orchestra! This was the first time many of the students had used this software, and it was a great way for them to learn about the concepts of music and composition without playing their instruments. We look forward to hearing all of their creations next week.
