Composer's Corner


Several of the classes have been working on composition projects in class.

The 3rd graders used dots to represent ta's, ti-ti's, and tika-tika's in their "This is Why We Dot" compositions. When they were finished, they got to give their composition a name. Some of them were very creative!




The 6th graders composed their first songs ever! 1st they chose a famous quote (or made up their own) and then they added rhythms to the words. Next, they used the notes from the pentatonic scale and notated their songs on staff paper. For our final step, we went to the computer lab and notated our songs on the computer using MuseScore. The end product was a professional-looking song that could be performed for the class!
