In this section you have the opportunity to compose your own piece of music and
perform it as part of your performance award and graded examination.
The piece you compose can be used as one of the three chosen pieces that you will
perform at your assessment.
Use the blank staves below to compose your piece, please use a pencil, and ask
your ECaM tutor to help you along the way.
Your piece of music should be in a simple key signature for you to play. It should
begin and end on the tonic note (the first note of the scale of your chosen key).
It should be 8 bars long and in bar 4 you should include the dominant note (the 5th
note of the scale of your chosen key).
