Award-winning online composition courses to inspire and engage students in writing their own music. Courses include exemplar listening material, video content and other interactive features.
Winner of Outstanding Music Education Product in the 2019 Music Teacher Awards for Excellence, I can compose offers interactive online courses to help secondary level students and teachers with different aspects of composition. Courses can be accessed at home or in the classroom.
Each course features a specially-written model composition which is broken down lesson by lesson, enabling students to watch the composing process, and either follow the ideas closely or take it in their own direction.
Currently courses are aimed at GCSE level (or equivalent).

“I can’t recommend I can compose highly enough for teachers and students of GCSE music! Lots of useful tips on getting started with composition, as well as starting points for composing in specific styles.” (Sean Young, Secondary Music teacher)
