Music by Me, Book Four A Composition Workbook

Introduction:
Music by Me, Book Four continues the exploration of musical creativity with an emphasis on syncopation, non-chord tones, chord progressions, lyric writing, 12-bar blues, and modal composition. Students engage with a wide range of compositional tools and musical styles, while continuing the well-loved four-part structure:

• Tool of the Trade

• Let’s Explore

• Improvise!

• Compose Your Own

With titles like Tap in the New Year!, Hot Pepper Time!, and It’s Greek to Me!, the book offers a rich blend of cultural references, creative freedom, and music theory in action—ideal for early intermediate to intermediate students.

Performance Tips:
Encourage students to experiment with rhythmic displacement, voice leading in harmonic motion, and modes beyond major/minor. Exercises such as Canon in D and St. Louis Blues provide historical and musical context. The lyric-setting unit is perfect for collaborative projects.

Kevin Olson and Wynn-Anne Rossi continue their acclaimed series with this volume that blends fun with structured creativity, giving students real-world musical vocabulary and compositional insight.
