Code-Cracker Teacher

Music Code-Cracker Teacher is designed to use alongside the colourful pupil book Music Code-Cracker. Order both together here, or the Teacher Book by itself, with FREE UK delivery.

Enter the world of espionage and phone tapping, of secret messages and things that go "bump" in the night!

Every song tells a story and communicates something new: Song 1 'A&E Emergency' begins with just two siren-sound notes that develop tonguing and slurring, singing and vocalising, right from the start. Song 9 'Spying' and Song 8 'Scary' inspire pupils to communicate musical messages and create video sound tracks. Song 2 'Code Cracker', Song 3 'Coding Song' and Song 16 'V is for Victory' investigate the secret world of Bletchley Park and of broadcasting and deciphering during World War Two.

The 20 pieces are all ready to perform plus, the Pupil and Teacher books have tips and practical tricks for creating music individually, and as a class. From Beethoven's 5th Symphony to Mahler's 1st, this book is thoroughly grounded in "proper music" whilst unlocking creativity at every level and age: for five-year-olds to adult.

Composing will never again seem daunting to you or your class! Try Song 10 'Jigsaw', Song 11 'Mosaic' and 'Mirror Music' to see how visual stimuli can inspire sound. By using Morse Code for rhythm, the NATO phonetic alphabet for pitch and Song 14 'Pealing Bells' for sequencing, your class will become composers in the best sense of the word: they will be creatively involved participants in an exciting process.

These books have everything for truly Adventurous Music-Making with 20 songs to explore plus CD performances and backings, keyboard accompaniments, and so much more.

This book will support any teacher, whether they feel “musical” or not. Delivery is FREE within the UK.
