Young Children Composing Music


I teach some of my piano students at a preschool. Today I would like to introduce some of them to you. There is Ryan, who is always smiling. He just turned 3 years old. Then there is Wilmans who loves to fish and has a heart of gold. Akshaj loves to laugh. Wilmans and Akshaj are good buddies at school.

I also teach two preschoolers in my studio. Christian is very curious and wants to learn about everything. And Ryan, he is shy and quiet. He observes what is going on around him and thinks about it.

One thing they all share is their love of learning and their love of music. In order to teach them about music I had each one them compose a song. By writing these song they learned about and felt the rhythms of the whole note, half notes, and quarter notes.

You can listen to their first songs by clicking beside the song name:

Akshaj's Song (click here)
Christian's Super Awesome Song (click here)

Macaroni and Cheese (click here)
The Lion's Song (click here)
Wilmans' Song (click here)
Wilmans found the pitch bar and used it as I recorded his song.
