Most groups improvise rather than compose because their songs constantly change, even during performance. When students notate their ideas, they shift from improvising to composing. However, the performances are awkward and not musical. 2. Listening to the ipad recording from the previous week does not help; paper notation is more effective. Perhaps create a worksheet with spots for the rough draft, revisions, and final draft. Include the rhythm :ll. Add lines beneath the notes for letter names; start and end on C. Use the fifth grade worksheet as a template. 2015 L. Micheel-Mays Page 15 of 16
