Music by Me is a progressive series for young pianists in individual or group settings, introducing them to the joy of composing their own music. Books One through Three contain seven units, designed for the elementary student who has a fundamental understanding of notes and basic rhythms. Each unit in Books One through Three is divided into four parts: "Tool of the Trade" (an important element or tool of composition), "Let's Explore" (a fun activity to further understand this tool), "Improvise!" (improvisation and experimentation), and "Compose on Your Own" (writing an inspiring, original composition). The six units of Book Four include an additional part, "Scanning the Score," where students are given the opportunity to analyze a piece of music literature.
