The AS Music Composition Workbook will guide you through the process of creating musical ideas and working with some of the most common musical forms. It is ideal for developing your compositional skills and raising the standard of your work. AS Music Composition Workbook builds on the earlier GCSE Music Composition Workbook.
The AS book has been written for those submitting compositions as part of their coursework, and although the projects have been chosen to be suitable for AS Music, they offer useful guidance to anyone wishing to take composing to a higher level. The book offers essential generic advice and five composing projects, covering composing for choir, composing expressively and using a storyboard, writing for rock and pop instruments with verse-chorus form, and writing for piano and keyboard in rondo form. A useful glossary is included.
