Alfred's Music Tech Series, Book 1: Teacher's Guide
The Music Tech Series Teacher’s Manual incorporates all three of the books in the series (Composing Music with Notation, Playing Keyboard and Sequencing and Music Production). A Teacher’s CD containing additional files not found in the Student CDs is included. The Teacher’s Manual provides lesson ideas (suggestions that you can reference as you teach each page of the Student Books), assessment possibilities, and extension activities (additional activities you can consider to extend the lesson).

Sequencing and Music Production
Alfred’s Music Tech Series: Sequencing and Music Production is designed for late elementary to high school students, and can be used in groups or individually. No previous experience with composition or sequencing/audio recording software is required. With Sequencing and Music Production, students will:

  • Have a broader understanding of composing and recording music become familiar with basic tools and techniques for recording MIDI and audio

  • Manipulate and arrange multi-track audio

  • Mix their own songs

Composing Music with Notation
Alfred’s Music Tech Series: Composing Music With Notation is a breakthrough method designed for elementary to high school students that can be used in a classroom setting or for individual study. Progressive and supplemental activities are included in each unit. Complete with an accompanying data CD that contains compatible files for most music-notation software programs, Composing Music With Notation introduces and explains concepts that will help music students to have a broader understanding of the elements of music, become familiar with the operation of notation software programs, compose melodies and accompaniments on the computer, and use notation software to create their own arrangements! Best of all, no previous experience with music notation software or music theory is required!

Alfred’s Music Tech Series is designed for late elementary to high school students who are learning the piano in a group-lab setting. No previous keyboard-playing experience is required! Playing Keyboard is specifically designed for use in a keyboard lab setting, integrating a variety of performance activities to enhance the learning process and including challenging activities for students who have more advanced playing experience. The method has been designed and field tested over the past ten years by Dr. Tom Rudolph with students at both middle school and high school levels.

Unit 1: Left- and right-hand melody in C position; percussion accompaniment
