Music Composition Assignments — You choose.

William Wieland

I would like to listen to a composition each day we meet. In that case, please write for your laptop, (I prefer the next options.) your instrument or voice, (Be prepared to perform.) piano, (Write music you can play or I can sight read.) and/or us. (Something the class can sing, tap, click, etc.)

Note: Short pieces are about 1 minute long. (Many assignments ask for 3 short pieces.)
