A copse is a thicket of trees and bushes that may be found in a meadow or in open land. In England, a copse will often be found on a moor. A copse needs a source of water that is usually a stream, small river or pond. A copse has abundant plant and animal life because it provides the perfect habitat and shelter for moisture loving plants, insects, small mammals, rodents, reptiles, and birds. If you were walking through the copse in the midst of willow trees, bluebells and march marigolds, you would see beautiful butterflies, dragonflies and moths. You might see a frog or toad jumping on the banks of the pond and you would hear the call of numerous birds. Ornithologists often spend many hours watching and counting birds in and around a copse. Migrating birds such as geese and herons may also be spotted at certain times of the year. If you sit very quietly, you might catch sight of a red fox, a rabbit or squirrel. A copse is a happy place to spend an afternoon or to go for a walk. Perhaps you will get to visit a nature preserve near your home where you can observe the wonderful world of the woodland wild life that can be found in abundance in a copse. To assist you in learning some of the techniques that you need to be able to use when playing Willow-Wood Copse, you may wish to work on the studies that accompany the piece.A copse is a thicket of trees and bushes that may be found in a meadow or in open land.

A heartfelt piece that is dedicated to the memory of a lost student, the music is both emotional and beautiful. It is meant to depict the life of the person lost, not the sadness. In typical Larry Clark fashion, the piece has memorable melodies, interesting lush harmonies and is well-scored. This will be a great vehicle to improve the musicianship of your students.Heartstrings began its life as the main musical material for a piece I wrote called Forever Climbing. It was a concert band work that was commissioned by the Boulder Creek High School Band under the direction of James O'Haloran. It was dedicated to the memory of Trevor Crouse who died tragically in a climbing accident. When Ifinished that piece, I just knew that I was not finished with the main musical ideas and decided it would work very nicely for strings.Certainly in the face of losing a loved one it would pull on your heartstrings, but when I was composing this piece I also wanted to bring about the love that we have for our close friends and family members. I hope that you will hear love in the piece along with a touch of sadness. Certain harmonic choices and dissonances in the melody to the harmonies were used to bring about this emotional feeling. I take great pride in writing music for young people that stretches their musicianship. When I work with students, I ask them to put their emotions into the music stretch phrasing, push lines,and giving things shape; make the music more than what is on the page. Bring it to life and make the audience feel something with their performance. It is my sincere hope that it will inspire them to do so and expand their musical horizons. I continue to honor the memory of Trevor and the memory of those loved ones I have lost as well.It has been my pleasure to have the opportunity to write this piece. I hope you and your students enjoy it and find it useful for your program.—Larry ClarkLakeland, FL 2016.

Ramos has written a memorable tribute to a beloved teacher in I Carry Your Song in My Heart. For the advanced treble ensemble, the lush and captivating harmonies are sure to engage both singer and audience. With a wonderful it factor, it is a great find for concert or festival.A great music teacher's legacy is not measured by the festivals and conventions at which their students performed. It is not measured by the number of all-state performers or professional musicians their program generated. Nor is it measured by Teacher-of-the-Year awards or accolades. A great music teacher's legacy is found in the memories, the music, the life lessons, and the truths still resonating in the hearts of their students. I Carry Your Song in My Heart was created to celebrate the legacy of Cheryl Wilson, a great choir director, and the 'song' she imparted to her students. Robert Draper, her former assistant, wrote the first draft of the text which was further developed into its present form by Evan and Sarah Ramos. Performance Notes: Mm. 9-16: Be careful not to take this section too quickly. The section 'rhythms dance, phrases spin' is difficult to enunciate at too fast a tempo. Work with your singers to find a tempo that allows mm. 13-16 to 'dance' without feeling rushed. Mm. 37, 61: Keep the dotted eighth notes in these measures as legato as possible. M. 47: If you would like, accenting the dotted eighth notes is appropriate here. If you choose to perform this piece with Cello, feel free to adjust dynamics as needed for balance in the overall sound.A great music teacher’s legacy is not measured by the festivals and conventions at which their students performed.

This collection of three, highly original pieces brings popular music styles to the forefront. They are called rogue because typically one would hear them on the dance floor, but these are designed for the recital hall. Electronic dance music (EDM), country stylings, and disco-funk will also sound great on both acoustic and digital keyboards. All three are as fun to play as they are to hear!

Jason Max Ferdinand's book Teaching With Heart is the first book to directly help us address the societal issues in our choral rehearsals. Not attempting to separate the music from social issues, this new tool in the classroom uses musical examples to address uncomfortable topics and hopefully 'open minds and hearts.' Built to ask singers to read, watch, listen and then to respond and discuss, this resource has been developed with the help of nine outstanding contributors and ten composers and arrangers. I strongly urge you to take a look at this new resource for your classroom. --Jo-Michael Scheibe, D.M.A. Professor, Department of Choral and Sacred Music Conductor, University of Southern California Thornton Chamber Singers Teaching With Heart is a timely and relevant resource that offers a well-crafted, research-based approach to choral music education. Students will learn how diverse choral repertoire can be used as a tool to not only advance musicianship, but also as an access point for critical thinking and the enhancement of social emotional learning skills. --Rollo A. Dilworth, D.Mus. Vice Dean and Professor of Choral Music Education Center for the Performing and Cinematic Arts, Temple University Through valuable repertoire suggestions, listening examples, video interviews, quotes, and teaching activities, this resource provides designed lessons helping students apply, synthesize, evaluate, and comprehend music from an artistic perspective and, more importantly, a human perspective. --Brandon Boyd, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Choral Conducting, Choral Music Education University of Missouri 'How would you suggest a Caucasian teacher talk about social justice issues with students of color?' a student from Georgia Southern University asked via ZOOM. Dr. Ferdinand responded by quoting from Teaching With Heart, specifically sharing inspiration from the module titled 'Justice, or Just Us?' Powerful conversation ensued and our future educators were immediately on fire to get ahold of these teaching tools! We are so grateful for Dr. Ferdinand's generous leadership and his extremely well-timed Choral Conductor's Compendium to help guide us through current times and into the future. --Shannon Jeffreys, D.M.A. Director of Choral Activities Georgia Southern University Jason Max Ferdinand is a Full Professor, Chair of the Music Department, and Director of Choral Activities at Oakwood University, where he conducts the Aeolians of Oakwood University. He maintains an active schedule as a presenter, adjudicator, and guest conductor for high schools, collegiate, and church choirs throughout North America, Asia, Europe, and the Caribbean.
