Group Lesson Ready: Composer Kits to Teach and Inspire

Invite your piano students to explore music history and apply theory as they write, play, and create in the style of the masters.

What is a Composer Kit?

The Composer Kit is a flexible teaching tool designed to make music history approachable, engaging, and fun—for both students and teachers. While especially effective in group lessons, the kits also work beautifully in one-on-one instruction.

Inside each kit you'll find:

🧭 A Teacher’s Guide with a ready-to-go 60-minute lesson plan

🎧 A curated listening playlist with QR code access

📝 Beginner & intermediate worksheets with composer bios and writing activities

🎹 Composing activities tailored to both skill levels

🎲 Two games that reinforce musical and historical concepts
