Introductory Composition Assignments

Auralia & Musition have just released a fresh suite of composition-focused content in Auralia and Musition, designed to ignite creativity and build foundational skills in young composers. The new module includes eight structured worksheets and lessons that guide students through the essentials of musical composition—no prior experience required.

This includes composition prompts where the student may be given:

• The rhythm and only has to make pitch selections
• A pitch set Eg. Major pentatonic scale, major scale, blues scale
• An accompaniment Eg. 12-bar blues piano accompaniment

This scaffolding empowers students to focus on melodic invention, motivic development, and expressive choices without being overwhelmed by limitless options.

Educators can easily assign these worksheets within the Auralia and Musition platforms, making them ideal for classroom use, homework, or flipped learning environments. The lessons are designed to be inclusive, engaging, and adaptable—perfect for students exploring composition for the first time or deepening their understanding of musical building blocks.
