<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nToday, I\u2019d like to tell you about the Concept Collections<\/em> books, edited and published by Vibrant Music Teaching, the pedagogical project led by Nicola Cantan.<\/strong> These books are released quarterly and feature pieces by various composers, all centered around a specific musical concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each collection focuses on a particular topic such as octaves, waltzes, or relative keys, and every piece in the book is composed to explore that concept. Each volume includes 8 to 10 pieces, ranging from elementary to intermediate levels, and each one comes with a short pedagogical note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the great strengths of these collections is their flexibility: they allow you to teach the same concept to students at different levels, making them perfect for group activities. The theme of the collection can also serve as a springboard for exploring related topics like music history, theory, improvisation, or composition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n These books are only available for a limited time, usually, only the two most recent volumes can be purchased. While the printed editions<\/strong> are available to everyone, the digital version with studio-licensed access<\/strong> is exclusive to members of Vibrant Music Teaching<\/strong>. At the end of this post, I\u2019ll briefly explain what the platform offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Concept Collection 12 is all about the Dorian mode<\/strong>, and I had the pleasure of contributing alongside Elizabeth Swift, Lynette Sawatsky, Peter Rudzic,<\/em> and Rosemarie Penner<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nConcept Collection 12: Dorian<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
