Create a composition

Draw or write a musical composition, in any style.

Rhythm Draw or write word rhythms or verbal images, e.g. ‘a rushing stream’.

Melody Draw or write a melody, for instance by drawing a line over your rhythm.

Harmony Draw or write harmony, for instance by using beams or areas of different colours. Do you want your music to sound dark, bright, sad or sparkling?
