Composition 1 — MuseScore

Cambridge IGCSE Music (0410) · Component 3: Composing · 5-lesson unit · MME-IG-021

The staff-notation companion to Composition 2. Five lessons take students from a theme of their own to a complete, performable score and recording, in MuseScore Studio. It’s free.

What the pack will include

  • A teaching deck covering all five lessons, built for students to come back to over several weeks
  • Five lesson plans in starter / main / plenary format, with the questions written in
  • A student workbook that runs the whole unit
  • A two-page teacher’s guide, plus additional information with the think-aloud scripts
  • A questioning bank of recall starters, checkpoints and misconception re-checks

Why it matters

Five of the 25 marks are for score presentation. A student can write good music, hand in a bare score and lose a fifth of the component. Lesson 4 is there to stop that happening.

Worth knowing now

MuseScore Studio installs on the computer rather than running in a browser. If new software needs an IT request at your school, it’s worth making that request now.
