Set sail on a musical adventure with the Pirate-Themed Composition Kit – the ultimate resource for helping students learn how to write their own music! Designed for use across a wide range of skill levels, this kit includes four engaging composition projects tailored for beginner, elementary, intermediate, and advanced students.
With a fun pirate theme woven throughout, each level features step-by-step guidance to make the process of composing clear, creative, and accessible. Whether students are just starting to explore musical ideas or are ready to craft more complex pieces, this kit empowers every young composer to chart their own creative course!
This ‘Piratical’ Composition Teaching Kit Features:
- FOUR different levels of composing activities, for Beginner, Elementary, Intermediate and Advancing students.
- Student project sheets for each level, with simple steps laid out for confident composing. Each project level steps up sequentially, adding a new challenge for each higher level.
- The Beginner project uses graphic notation, for early composing success & fun. The Elementary project uses staff notation on the treble staff. The Intermediate project teaches students to write both a melody and a bass line. And the Late Intermediate to Advancing project kit extends the students’ composing skills to include modulating to the dominant key. It also encourages students to create 8 to 16+ bars, and use binary, ternary or rondo form, phrasing, and dynamics for a fully finished piece.
- Each activity set takes students step-by-step through a composition process, to help them build confidence, and create a satisfying piece. Each set also includes a keyboard picture of the relevant scale/s, so students easily know what notes to use.
- Improvisation is encouraged throughout, to help students hear what it is they are composing, and develop audiation skills. Improvisation also gives them the chance to experiment and find the motifs or patterns they like, to use in their compositions.
- Composing their own music is a great way to help students improve their music literacy and theory skills too!
- Suitable for both Group class AND Individual tuition – Get your students creating music, and exploring their own creativity. Easily adaptable for school classroom teaching too!
