Product Description

One of my most valuable teaching techniques is the incorporation of literacy into each music lesson. This can be found in music-based worksheets, popcorn reading, power point presentations, or even creative writing. These lessons are not intended to take up much time and help to engage the students at the start of class. In order to capture the attention of the diverse types of learners in my orchestra I composed this piece with the intention of the students writing a background story (or liner notes) for the work. Using familiar themes from the French tune Il est né le Divin Enfant (in a minor key) and a portion of the Irish ballad Star of the County Down I created an interesting pirate sounding shanty. The title, Ghost Ships Call, is a guideline for this "write your own adventure" piece. The students can explore different ideas for the harmonic and melodic changes in the music.
