Outside the Lines

Each composition activity is designed to free your students so they can focus on expressing their creative ideas without worrying about breaking any musical "rules." Your students will be invited to work with everything from picture notation to a one-line staff as they participate in composition activities that are educational, rewarding, invigorating, and fun. Your students can compose a soundtrack, shape a river of sound, create a soundscape to accompany a famous painting, and even build a cool percussion groove using box notation.
