Pieces composed by my kid
on: June 29, 2011, 12:28:58 PM


My kid like to compose, here are two small pieces in concert.
His teacher said he is not good enough to be a piano performer.
Any comment is welcome.

Does your kid really compose those pieces?, they sound nice in my point of view (or in this case, in my ears' point of view), specially the second one.

Which pieces does he like?, which is his favourite composer?

@faa2010 , Yes, he composed all by himself. I and his teacher were so surprised. He learned just two years, I think he didn't know any composer.
It's a headache to find a teacher in composing.

Those pieces are lovely and a good start in composition. It's always hard finding a composition teacher, but at his young age it might not be helpful to get too technical in composition anyway. You can help him by encouraging him to listen to lots of different styles of music in order to feed his imagination. If he has friends who play other instruments he could write pieces for his friends to get experience of writing for other instruments.
