Workbook for Pop Music and Music Theory: Good pop songs have at least one musical feature that makes them particularly appealing. In "Active Music Around Us 2," a diverse selection of songs has been compiled, each characterized by such a musical feature. Engaging with the structures of the songs, that is, the inner workings of the music, is worthwhile, as it enhances both listening and performing experiences. The music and its respective effects can be better understood and evaluated, and students also acquire the ability to translate their own musical ideas into sound. A conscious approach to rhythms, scales, triads, and forms leads to a deeper experience of pop music. Tips and methodological guidance are available in the supplementary materials section for download.
