Suggested
materials for preparation and practice in
AMEB
MUSIC CRAFT - FOURTH GRADE TOPICS
Some
teachers may wish to provide students with further resources
to supplement the AMEB Music Craft Student Workbook questions
that were written by Margaret Brandman. Teachers may devise
their own questions and/or the student may work through supplementary
material which can be found in the existing Brandman theory
and aural materials. Specialised training in rhythm transcription
using Margaret Brandman’s unique music short-hand system,
is included in the Contemporary Aural Course. Students who learn
the music short-hand will gain a head-start for the rhythm questions
in the Music Craft course. Information on the instruments should
be taken from Music Craft workbooks or the AMEB recommended
reference materials, as this area is not covered in the Brandman
materials.
Please note: The following information has
been prepared by Margaret Brandman.
