Abstract
Abstract While music composition and improvisation have been included in the National Arts Standards of many countries as well as promoted through conference presentations, journal articles, and books, many music teachers have not experienced music composition in their own upbringing, training, or adult experiences and therefore struggle with the ideas of including composition and creativity in their own classroom teaching. Thankfully, there are many ways that music teachers who lack background in music composition can still add skills to make creativity a regular part of their music classes. Many paths can be taken to reach the heaven of a creative classroom such as the use of improvised call-and-response rhythms, composition as assessment, songwriting, notation training, and music technology. The key is to try out one composition activity, and then purposefully schedule more composition activities so they become a “normal” part of your lesson planning.
