Every student is a Musician and Composer

This week, I am glad that two music compositions by two young musicians were written. "The Bus" and "A Peaceful Night" were written by two different students. Both students were elated when signing their name at the completion of their master pieces. Composing is essential in music learning. It helps student to apply the theory they have learnt into a very practical and yet creative use. As they play the keys, they are training their ears while relating to the written form of music. As they add the final touch of adding dynamic markings, articulations, performance directions etc, they have cultivated the awareness of the performance details which brings the music to life. Every student is a musician and composer. Encore !
