Music Composition Competition

Music has many positive health benefits, whether we are listening or playing. Composing music keeps a young brain engaged by forcing it to think mathematically when composing melodies and rhythms, but also creatively when searching for something that hasn’t been done before, or unique lyrics to fit the feeling they’re trying to convey.
