"It was a dark and stormy night..." 9 Spooky Composing Prompts
| LEVEL | Beginner |
| PRODUCT TYPE | Digital Download |
"It was a dark and stormy night…” is a collection of songs-writing templates centered around the theme of telling stories around a campfire. Full of spooky-sounding flats and staccato jump-scares, these late primer level songwriting templates work around a basic call-and response framework. The first and every other measure of music are provided; the blank measures are an invitation for the student to add in their own unique creations. I usually suggest the song end on a “C” key and offer similar guidance along the way.
The song templates are sequenced in order of difficulty to read and play; each includes a variety of interesting composing problems for primer-level pianists:
Rain Storm - harmonic seconds, thirds
Little Surprise - staccatos
Campfire Story - eighth note pairs, repeat bar
Black Cats & Bats - flats, quarter rests
Pumpkin Carving - 3/4 time signature
Potions & Poisons - slurs into staccato groups
Costume Party - review of flats, seconds
Vampires vs. Zombies - review of flats, seconds, eighth note pairs
Candy Bucket - intro to eighth note groups
