Why should students compose? Composing music is a creative form of self expression that is fun and rewarding. Composers take ownership of their own musical creativity. Suddenly, music has a whole new component, one in which they are the creators. Composing music helps with ear training (being able to play what one hears). An understanding of the composition process helps students understand the works of other composers. When students compose, they make decisions about their musical preferences. Composing music helps develop musical memory. Why should students write music on a page? The process of writing music on a page is an excellent way to deepen a students understanding of music notation. Putting pencil to paper creates a connection to the details of music notation and their function. It gives real world experience with elements of music that are often only conceptualized or worse, overlooked. What age is Music Composition Adventures intended for? Ages 6 and up What does the student need to know before they can begin The Dragon Quest? The Dragon Quest is designed to be an easy introduction to writing music.
