Composition Projects

3 times a year, we compose an original piece under set guidelines... like must be a blues swing, 12 bars, using only theory as far as we covered in school. 

Then we arrange the piece with bass, drums, and other designated instruments.on On the day the composition is due, the piece is played by students of upper levels who are practicing their site reading abilities. It's quite exciting and fun, and of coarse I've learned a lot.

These are two of the projects that happen to get recorded by friends.
