Get your students composing quicker than you can say "Compose"! Through the MINI MUSIC books, students are introduced to various concepts through composition. In Book 1, students write 66 short songs through given sets of notes on the Piano which leads up to learning 5-finger scales of C and G Major, and A and D Minor.
