Music Composition Competition

The Music Composition Competition offers pupils an opportunity to explore the enchanting realm of music making. This competition emphasises both mathematical and creative thinking. Pupils will need to think mathematically when putting together 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.
