  Ticheli

 

Frank Ticheli is one of the greatest composers of our time. He is a versatile composer, writing for many different genres of music. A prominent band composer, he writes for a variety of age groups. I will be using Ticheli's music as a unit for my advanced music class. The idea of the unit is to give the students an understanding of a modern day composer and some of his works. I choose Ticheli because he is a successful modern day composer and students may already be familiar with his pieces.

 

I hope to do a lot of activities relating to Ticheli and his music. There will be lots of listening activities for the students. I really want the students to hear some of his music and hear what it sounds like, especially if they have never heard it before. There will also be other activities in which the students can create and perform. A couple of the lessons cover musical concepts and there are activities that go with them.
