Composition Competition 2019
Our fantastic new composition competition is now on! This is a brillliant opportunity to get your creative juices flowing especially if you are learning an instrument, and a chance to explore your instrument and find out what you can do. Your Space Music Lessons, online music school, will be awarding prizes for Christmas or winter themed compositions from entrants in three age categories:
- Age 4 - 10 Child
- Age 11 - 17 Older Child / Teen
- 18+ Adult
To enter you must compose a piece of music; a song with words or a melody with a Christmas or winter theme influence. Think about the mood of the piece, using tempo, dynamics and phrasing of your melodies to evoke characterisation. You make like to add notes with your submission along with an imaginative title.
The composition does not need to be notated but you must submit a performance video recording that you can play yourself on an instrument of your choice. The recording must be made in landscape orientation. The resulting mp4 files must be sent to abigail@yourspacemusiclessons (via dropbox.com) with your name, age and title of the piece.
On submitting your entry you agree for it to be added to a playlist of compositions published on the Your Space Music Lessons website.
The compositions will be judged by professional Composer, online piano teacher and Your Space teaching partner teacher Alex Chisholm-Loxley.
Entries must be received by 17th December 2019 at midnight and the winner will be announced by Saturday 21st December.
The competition is open to Your Space Music Lessons pupils and the general public.
The winner of each category will receive a £25 Amazon e-gift voucher and a certificate. There is no alternative prize, and the judges decision is final.
