Description

Do your piano students cringe when you mention “composing”? Do they tell you they “can’t write music”? Then you need this Valentine music composition activity!

When students follow the step-by-step composition instructions and worksheets in Valentine S’mores Composing, they will learn that they CAN compose, and their confidence will soar!

This fun and engaging Valentine music composition activity was inspired by one of my favorite holidays of the year!

Step by step instructions lead elementary piano and music students to complete the composition worksheets and compose their very own song over a period of days or weeks depending on your teaching schedule.

To make this music composition activity even more engaging and memorable for your students, have them perform their compositions for each other during your class Valentine’s Day party!

The pages can be used as slides, projected, used on iPad or other tablet, printed, and more.
