year-olds, teaching music has never been so easy, or so much fun!
Sibelius Groovy Music City is one of a series of three Groovy Music
programs which make teaching music to primary children easy and fun. Supporting
teachers with plenty of clear and well-written materials – you don’t
even need to be a musician to use it!
Children love Sibelius Groovy Music. It lets them create their own music
as well as carry out directed activities, so there’s plenty of room for
them to experiment. In fact, Sibelius Groovy Music is so compelling that
once children start making music, they just won’t want to stop! And best
of all, it’s incredibly easy to use, so you won’t waste time on
setting it up and learning how it works.
Each of the three Groovy Music programs is designed to be used by a
different age group, with more complex musical ideas being explored as children
progress through the series. Each program has its own ‘theme’, with
exciting and engaging graphics to appeal to the age group for which it’s
designed.
The three Groovy Music programs can be used on a single computer, a
network or an interactive whiteboard for whole class teaching. They can be purchased
individually, or at a discount when bought together.
Using the Notation viewer in Groovy’s Create mode, the individual notes
of each musical element can be viewed by simply double- clicking the shape.
Elements can be viewed and edited using a simple representation of pitch and
rhythm, which is particularly useful for non-specialists.Standard notation can
also be used. Children are taught how to use notation naturally as they progress
through the three programs.
In the third program Groovy City, children learn more about notation,
and complete more complex listening tasks. They are also introduced to question
and answer phrases and the blues scale, so that they can begin to build up more
sophisticated compositions.
