about the project
about the project
Music by Kids for Kids is a composition
curriculum. American Composers Forum invited
composer/educator Janika Vandervelde to write the
curriculum and accompanying templates. Music by
Kids for Kids fills the gap in the music
classroom between performing and composing music.
In English class, students are encouraged to
write their own prose and poetry. In art class,
students are invited to pick up a brush and paint
their own picture. The purpose of Music by Kids
for Kids is to provide tools for 7th through 12th
grade educators to incorporate composition and
notation software into their classrooms.

Composers Forum.
