Grade 7:
This week our goals are to complete a composition for 2 instruments using Finale software in the lab.  Our compositions should be for 2 instruments and include a melody and harmony.

During our first class, students will complete their 8 bar melody and then choose matching harmony chords.  Then they will create an interesting pattern for their harmony, add dynamics, articulation and other expression markings.

During our second class, students will share their compositions and then work in pairs to complete a blues scavenger hunt on the internet.
