We also want to show the general public just how wonderfully creative children can be, and to impress upon them the importance of the arts in our society. Some of these works and the new works being produced have appeared in Clavier's Piano Explorer magazine, have been winners or entries in various composition contests, have been commissioned by youth orchestras, and have been heard over National Public Radio. Each book has a cover designed by a young artist. Art contests are held in schools. The children can submit hand drawn or computer generated art and the winning design is placed on the cover.
Composers can submit their own art work with their musical submission.
Portions of the profits from this series go to composition scholarships for young composers. The music can be for any instrumentation. There is no minimum or maximum length. Music should be submitted in the composer's own hand and on a disk using the music program Finale 3.0 or higher for the Macintosh. If the work is for more than one instrument, score and parts should be included.
