Composition Starts At Any Age

We have a little project going on at Lanthier Music Studio. It's a composition project, and all students are participating. That is to say, everyone is busy composing their own song! The theme for this year's project is The Seasons. I must say I have learned something from choosing this kind of theme, because as much as I'd hoped we'd have a variety of songs from every season, most of the songs so far revolve around winter. I really should've guessed this outcome as I am so often inspired by what I am experiencing in the present too. 

A New Composition/Happy Valentine's Day!

Well I finally made time to sit down at the piano this week and do some writing. I've been wanting to do it earlier but with such a busy start to the new year it's been almost impossible to find time. I wanted to write a piece about walking on the snow since I recently tuned in to the wonderfully musical and rhythmic squeaky sounds my boots made while walking. And since my nature walks are currently on hold (due to some major inflammation in my foot) I was glad to try and recreate a wintry walk down our snowy road through my music.
