Many of them are incorporating Compose Yourself into their curricula. Compose Yourself developers are available for workshop programs in your school. Compose Yourself students work in pairs at keyboards. There are a series of teacher demonstrations, each with a corresponding student activity. These involve various compositional techniques and the use of keyboard cards.
Students can choose from major, minor and blues categories.
After these activities are completed, students are free to create their own compositions. Compose Yourself targets middle and high school students. It adjusts to fit into music appreciation curricula, or as a stand alone program. Often the most interesting compositions are from students with limited musical backgrounds. What a shame it would be to keep these children from the joy of musical composition.
