This session included hands-on activities and ideas on how to teach music composition in the classroom. The presenter explained the need for developing creative thinking in students and helped us brainstorm questions to facilitate teaching composition. This session also provided many activities, such as media poems and soundscapes, to help learners to start composing. ReflectionI thought this session provided a plethora of activities and techniques that I could use in a general music classroom to engage my students in composition. I also appreciated how Adriana, the presenter, began her session with the reasons WHY composition was important to teach in a music classroom from the very start of a learner's musical journey. It was not simply activities - there was a pedagogical reason and flow to the activities she demonstrated. I also thought it was beneficial that she showed videos of the activities or had the people listening to the session try out the activities ourselves so that we knew exactly what she meant from her slides.
