Contest
Announcement: Animals
It's time for the annual composition contest! This
year's theme is animals. Pick an animal (or animals) and describe it
with music. You can write about a pet, an animal you saw at a zoo or in
a book, or any creature you are interested in. Before you start
composing, think about the animal's personality, look, and behavior.
Then use notes and rhythms to show all that in the music. On the back
of the music write a few sentences about which animal you chose and why,
and how the music expresses it.
Draw a colorful picture to go with your piece. The best artwork will be
featured on the cover!
