MusicBee Academy is proud to annouce that our group keyboard students from ages 3 to 9 participated in the world's largest composition festival for kids. For many of our students, it is their first composing experience. Nevertheless, they wrote melodies and applied composing techniques such as motive, pattern, repetition, sequence, mirror, retrograde, inversion, accompaniment and more... Most important of all, they will all receive a gigantic sticker each from Kanata!

Every year Music for Young Children students have the opportunity to participate in the annual MYC Composition Festival. Children strengthen their aural, reading and harmony skills through music composition. Composing is a long term project, well worth the effort.
This is the 21st year of the Festival. This year approximately 12,300 students from across Canada, the U.S., New Zealand and South Korea took part in this festival. Compositions are judged within their level in seven different regions -- Western Canada (BC, AB, SK, MB), Ontario, Eastern Canada (PQ, NS, NB, PEI, NF), United States, South Korea and New Zealand.
The first place winners of each of these regions then go on to be judged internationally.
