Composition Kit | Elementary Level

Introduce children to the ideas of sound as shapes, and shapes as sound, with this easy music composition pack, and watch their imagination and creativity blossom! Using graphic notation, or ‘pictures of sound’, these composition activities help students to engage in writing music, and exploring the abstract nature of notation, even though they may not be competent sight readers yet.

Not only is it educational, but it’s also fun for students to imagine what a sound might ‘look’ like! Graphic Notation is a great way to let children explore the idea of a visual representing a sound, and creates a great pathway to understanding music notation and later developing good sight reading skills.

Teaching music composition alongside learning an instrument is also an engaging way to develop musical storytelling skills, which in turn informs and inspires their playing abilities. Encouraging music composition from early on also helps to give students greater insight for listening and appreciation experiences too.

This done-for-you ‘Kids Composition Kit’ gives you SIX inspiring composing activities for elementary level students. It works equally well with individual tuition style and group classes. And it also includes teaching ideas so you can in turn connect composition activities with music appreciation and listening skills.
