After doing a "Step Inside" of composer, Ethan Bortnick and Eric Whitacre, students discovered composers think a musical idea, called audiating. Sometimes just a short 2-3 note pattern is all you need to help get the creative juices flowing. Students have been learning to audiate beat, rhythm and melody all year to make sense of music independently.
All discovered composers write because they have something inmportant to say. Doing it in a musical way is special and powerful. Click on the LInks to here these magnificent compositions!:

My 3rd Grade Bemis and Martell Students,
One of the most exciting things a musician can do is create their own music! Check out this composer, Eric Whitacre who helped compose music for Pirates of Caribbean and also brought together thousands of voices in a virtual choir to sing his other musical creations! 1. Read through the What Do You Know Now? questions on pg. 11 in your magazine. 2. Read the article in your Music Express Magazine p.10-11 3. Do the "Step Inside" the composer and "See/Hear Think Wonder" on his music. If you have your headphones you can also listen and watch the following in class during testing. If you do not, check it out at home:)!
