Composition

---

Many students enjoy composing simple melodies as well as more complex compositions. After students create and notate their songs, they play them on a keyboard connected to the computer in the teacher’s music studio to create a printed copy of their song. Even a very young student can do this, if he can play with a steady beat. Students are very motivated to accomplish this because their song looks exactly like the printed music they use in lessons. It is very rewarding for them to both see and hear their own creation.
