Children's Opera by Children
With the help of their musical instructors, children all over are composing and performing their own operas. I have been involved in this process a few times and was surprised at how simple the process is when I learned with the Cache Children's Choir in Logan, Utah.
Children absolutely love it- it's a very rewarding process to compose and perform a work, and being involved in the simple props and stage management is a fantastic introduction to the world of theater.
Join me as we explore this process.

Musescore Tutorial
Musescore is an open source program for creating music notation for MIDI and sheet music purposes. In this course, we'll go over some of the basics to use this free program so you can create your own sheet music, and maybe even compose!
This course was originally ten years ago in 2011, but the instructions have been updated March 2021 for the updated version. Some of the notated assignment examples look a little bit different because they were made on an older version, but the mechanics and applicable lessons have been updated.
There will be 6 notation assignments when this course is completed.
