Share your dream composition!

It’s time to enter your composer era. Elijah invites you to create a 12-16 bar composition and score it via MuseScore. You don’t have to play the piano – or any instrument – for a long time to develop this skill. The music is truly within you! Be open to the sounds you create and annotate them as you go.

A few things to remember:

To share, upload your audio or video file to YouTube, Vimeo, or Soundcloud and include the link in your project
Composing doesn’t have to be complex
You can create exactly what you want to hear
There are always infinite possibilities with music
Making mistakes is part of the process!
