What's the Score?
Go Inside the Conductor's Score
By Geoff Lorenz and Kris Kropff
Book

Students can go inside a score by playing games. Teachers can reproduce and distribute some or all of the 16 pages of the "Hallelujah Chorus" score included in this book. A preparatory worksheet introducing the score is also provided, along with reproducible fact sheets about the orchestra and its instruments, Handel, and his famous oratorio - a perfect complement to a Messiah unit.
  
Also provided are additional suggestions for using this familiar melody and its score to strengthen rhythm reading and other music fundamentals.
