What students learn, and why they love it

Students learn how to structure a melodic conversation using a call-and-response format. By assigning different roles to brass and woodwind instruments, they explore timbre and orchestration. Students love the freedom of choosing their own instruments and crafting a musical dialogue, giving them a sense of ownership over their composition.
