Effectively, Composition concepts for band and orchestra: Incorporating creativity in ensemble settings written by Alexander Koops and John Whitener, begins with listening for silence. Elements of found objects, body percussion, and a variety of repertoire lists are present in lesson plans from the beginning of the text and move educators and students through details of instruments, clefs, and imagination. Teacher guides, coupled with lesson plans, are focused toward different aspects of grade level and consider student interest. Clearly presented are advanced options supporting highly engaged students as well as beginning options for both teachers and students. Listening options, assessment rubrics, and opportunities for deeper learning through activities supporting musicianship include glossaries, improvisation, and real life skits. All are layered with concepts such as tension and resolution and integrated for student learning. While the title appears to focus the reader toward creativity,the creative act is a focus of composing with young people (the word "children" is not found here and three references to "choral"). This is a text not to be missed and may be used with any ensemble, in foundational learning, universities, or K-12 classrooms in any variety of creative ways. Expect Composition concepts for band and orchestra to transform your teaching.
