Session Three: 2.00 – 3.15pm: Listen Imagine Compose: Composing for instrumental teachers

Led by Sound and Music and exploring their work as part of Listen, Imagine, Compose, this session will include multiple speakers from academics to instrumental teachers and will look at making composition less intimidating.

Young musicians are naturally open to experimenting and creating music as they develop and explore their instrumental skills. In this session, we will explore how instrumental teachers can help young players develop their all-round musicianship through composing and creating as part of their lessons. There will be practical ideas for activities in 1-2-1 lessons and whole class ensemble teaching to try out during the session, and some food for thought from Martin Fautley.
