This class is an expanded version of the Composer of the Week ongoing classes and a culmination of lessons that have been created over 28 years of teaching experience. Materials are created by the teacher. This class would be equivalent to a semester of 4th-6th grade general music and is aligned with national music standards. If you would like a preview of the teacher's structure and style, there is an ongoing composer class that would be a great intro to the teacher - https://outschool.com/classes/composer-of-the-week-set-1-FuWcLyBQ#usbAg2IC4y

Each week learners need writing and coloring supplies as well as weekly handouts that will be posted to the classroom. Scissors, glue and blank paper will be used on some weeks. Optionally, the learner may choose to organize materials in a folder or small binder. For week 1, learners need 1 number cube (dice) for a game. For weeks 3, 4, 6, 9, and 11, learners can use instruments or found sounds from home to use in our four seasons composition. For week 8, learners can use a keyboard, recorder, xylophone, or a virtual instrument that has pitch. If you don't have any of these, the teacher will be using instruments as well to create a class composition. Additional materials will be posted on Outschool as needed.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
