The pieces presented in this composition portfolio have been written with very clear a intent.
The expectation is that they will provide new opportunities for study and performance for music students studying on Popular Music courses.
Ultimately the hope is that they will form the basis for a teaching and learning graded syllabus, (grades 1 - 8) utililising the iTutorus delivery and assessment mechanism..
The intention of the stylistically oriented syllabus is to tap in to existing cultural interest & experience and to build on this by presenting the student with a broad range of popular music based genres that will both elucidate and inspire the student to delve into further explorations of each genre and beyond.
The pieces themselves all present a particular performance and or compositional teaching and learning focus, designed to once again elucidate, inspire and raise the awareness of the student.
The posts to follow will discuss the specific intentions of each piece through description and analysis of each of the compositions.
In addition to high quality recordings of each composition, every piece has been filmed and edited to help the learning process and these videos are all freely available on the iTutorus YouTube channel.
The resulting videos have been prepared as: full band, band minus 1 instrument and individual instrumental performances, thus providing the student with a significant range of learning opportunities and choices.
I sincerely hope that you will enjoy the pieces, the recordings both audio and video and that my explanations of the process of creation will provide a useful insight.
