Online music composition courses for secondary students, teachers and schools
Our music composition courses break composing down into clear, step-by-step lessons so students at GCSE, A-Level, KS3 and MYP can build real composing skills at their own pace. Each course combines exemplar listening, model compositions and video guidance, covering everything from writing a great melody to composing film, jazz, pop and video game music.
Whether you’re an individual student looking to kickstart your composition skills, a teacher searching for ready-to-use classroom material, or a music department wanting structured online music composition classes for whole groups, there’s a course to suit. Several are completely free, and premium courses include free taster lessons so you can try before you buy.

Our courses map closely to the composition requirements of the main GCSE, IGCSE and A-Level music specifications, making them a ready-made resource for classroom teachers and music departments. Schools can give whole classes access through a single Classroom Access Plan, with students working through the material in lessons or independently at home.
