Here, for the first time, is the definitive practical guide to setting up a choral or instrumental ensemble and running it effectively. Aimed at experienced solo musicians, it illustrates how to harness individual skills to build an exciting and creative group dynamic. Every aspect of performing together is covered, from choosing repertoire and arranging the music to devising innovative rehearsal techniques, all leading to that successful final performance. Both a step-by-step 'how to' book, and a comprehensive reference resource, "How To Create a Successful Music Ensemble" features the insights of several experienced musical directors and also covers topics like practicalities, publicity and conducting techniques. Additional resources can be found on the book's companion website, including audio files of the music in the book and an original arrangement. With illuminating real-life case studies throughout, "How To Create a Successful Music Ensemble" is the ultimate guide to every practical and artistic aspect of creating and maintaining one of music's most rewarding collaborative forms.

Each piece in this book is broken down into clear and simple steps that show you how to build up the music gradually with your class. Combined with the accompanying DVD  -  which contains 60 short clips of the author and a group of KS3 students demonstrating all of the instruments and patterns to each piece  -  teaching and learning world music has never been so easy or enjoyable.  The six pieces are supplemented with valuable background information about the music and culture, cross-curricular projects, composing ideas, advice on assessment and guidance on teaching whole-class world-music ensembles. The material in this book has been designed primarily for use with KS2 and KS3 classes, but the addition of higher-ability parts for each piece means the book can be tailored easily to KS4 as well. It is not necessary to own authentic instruments to get the most out of this book, as classroom alternatives are suggested and demonstrated.
