Composition 2 — Free Composition with BandLab

iGCSE Music (0410 / 0978) · Component 3: Composing · 5-lesson unit · MME-IG-022

A complete five-lesson unit that takes students from a blank BandLab project to a finished Composition 2 submission, without you needing any DAW experience yourself. The loops rule and the commentary template arrive in lesson one, before either can cost a student marks.

What’s included

  • A teaching deck covering all five lessons, built for students to return to across several weeks
  • Five full lesson plans in starter / main / plenary format, with the questions written in
  • A student workbook with fillable templates and self-assessment tools
  • A two-to-three page teacher’s guide, plus a separate additional information file for BandLab specifics and think-aloud scripts
  • A questioning bank of recall starters, checkpoints and misconception re-checks
  • Print-ready PDFs alongside every editable file

Why this unit

Every resource is aligned to the real Component 3 mark scheme, not a general composition rubric adapted after the fact. Composition 2 is tagged Evergreen: it’s built on skills and process, not on content the board rotates, so it’s safe to reuse every year without re-checking.
