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.
