Unit Plan Canvas

Below will be my unit guide throughout the next couple of weeks. A simple text box to summarize the goals and objectives says, "Delve in to the wonderful new world of notation software! In this unit we'll learn how to use and navigate Sibelius for all of your music needs!" This gets students excited and gives them enough information to know what they are going to be doing in the next couple of weeks. Shortly after, some different screenshots of what Sibelius users have orchestrated and composed for our viewing pleasure. This can be compared and contrasted to our end results by the end of the unit. I have created a widget for a video that very accurately described Sibelius and gives a short introduction into the intricate world of the notation system. Later in the unit my students will learn enough about Sibelius that they can decide for themselves whether or not they like Sibelius better than Finale, or Notion (two other reputable softwares.) This unit will take about 3 to 4 weeks of intense training in the realm of notation, with the hope the students walk away with a very grounded understanding of music notation software.
