This booklet is the entirety of what you will need in terms of paperwork for your student to submit. It has guide questions on for teaching purposes which appear in red font. Questions are easy and broken down in to bitesize chunks for students of all ability levels. Performance and Composition are the two mediums used in the booklet, however either of these could be easily changed to Production.

This includes an introduction to families and instruments of the orchestra, with lots of listening and appraisal throughout, a ‘keyboard orchestra’ performance (with parts for flute, clarinet, glockenspiel, violin, and trombone, all transposed into the key needed for keyboards), and a composition task and accompanying worksheet for noting ideas.
