Kids can compose! The results are in.
I recently returned from the Let's Play Music! convention in Mesa, AZ, where teachers from the USA gathered to expand our teaching and music skills. Secretly, this counts for my "ladies' getaway weekend" since I have such fun with the other women.One of the exciting events each year is the awarding of prizes to young composers who entered into the national competition. This year I sent 3 of my students' compositions, and one of them received an honorable mention! You should take a peek here at these fun songs that students created. One thing I love about the Let's Play Music! curriculum is that we don't just teach students how to read and play sheet music (although that is important!) but we also teach them how to understand the theory so they can change and create the music they play. The power to play what you want in the style that you want is what keeps young people excited by music...excited enough to keep learning and practicing for years after they've left the great foundation laid by LPM. Check it out!
