Homework for MONDAY 4th October

Final four-bar composition exercise (on Google Classroom)

Complete the four-bar texture using the template on GC. If you really can’t get it done on Sibelius then write out and scan or do on something else and upload a PDF. You must:
– write a melody in the violin with ARTICULATION and dynamics
– write a second bar CLOSELY based on the first
– create a simple bass line and texture using either SQ1, 3a 3b or 4 from here: https://alevelmusic.com/alevelcompositionhelp/writing-and-developing-a-simple-classical-theme/stage-4-texture/string-quartet-textures/ as a model
– finish stepwise onto the tonic for your cadence

Composition (Monday at 4.00)

Download Sibelius First and set up a student account (https://my.avid.com/get/sibelius-first)
Then write a NEW B2 exercise as a String Quartet using the template provided on the assignment. 
You MUST use articulation and dynamics BUT please keep it REALLY SIMPLE and make sure the dissonances etc. are correct.
NOTE: In case you have a technological nightmare I have also included it as a PDF

Welcome to our new Year 12 Music students!

I am looking forward to meeting you. There is not much you need to do yet but:

• Make sure you attend the music enrichment and lessons session at 12.15 on your induction day in Chambers (opposite the main hall)
• Respond to your Google Classroom invite (https://classroom.google.com/c/MzIwMjgyMjU3MjAy?cjc=xga66e6) and fill in the Induction Questions.
• Think about how you are going take advantage of our heavily subsidised music lessons either on your first study or (if you really want to stay with a current private teacher) on a second study. You could support your music studies with voice or piano lessons, for example.
• There were some transition materials here: https://alevelmusic.com/as-handbook/year-11-transition-to-a-level-music/ but they are very much optional
