An introduction to the concepts of music
An introduction to the concepts of music by Peterson, Nick
An essential resource for any teacher (and students as well), Nick Peterson has produced a comprehensive tool for the NSW curriculum (especially Stages 5-6), explaining in succinct and relevant ways the concepts, elements or “ingredients” of music. These concepts as stated by the Board of Studies are texture, duration, pitch, tone colour, structure, dynamics and expressive techniques.
Working through each concept, the author has provided great ideas to explain what can be very confusing to students. The text is littered with superb visuals, grids, charts, diagrams and score extracts. Backed up by audio examples on CD, the written word is given meaning by the listening experience.
