The notable resource created for this week is the idea of textures and layers.
I was very specific in which additional repertoire I wanted to include in this unit of work as I wanted it to benefit and add to the analysis of my focus work, Rush.
Both Dawn Mantras and Rush use layering in their compositions.
I took one section from each work which highlight the use of layers. Dawn Mantras has a very clear use of layering in the introduction where one instrument enters at a time. There are also multiple sections in Rush which do the same.
I have notated the entry bars of each instruments and it is up to students to listen to the audio and identify which instrument they hear. Its like a jigsaw hide and seek puzzle. (Yes, I just combined two games into one)
