Free Music Composition Activities

Designed with the youngest composers in mind - these blank manuscript pages allow students to compose their own pieces! Draw the music notes or use small stickers to piece together a classical composition. Treble & bass clef tracing sheets are also included.

Make composing and songwriting as easy as a spin!

This four-section spinner is completely blank so you can write in the choices students have when composing. Sections can be anything from notes, chords, or roman numerals.

You are welcome to make as many copies as needed for your students and classes. For durability and longevity, you are also welcome to laminate the copies and use a dry-erase marker so you can use the spinner over and over again! 

Be on the lookout for more of these spinners with dedicated spaces to use with all of your music students. If you enjoy using this resource, please be sure to give it a rating and a review!
