Composition Challenges

Each Composition Challenge explores the work and approach of a different contemporary composer, supporting curriculum learning and helping young people engage with creative composition. Composition Challenges are designed to be easy to use, flexible and open to all, from complete beginners to those with more experience. A short film, supported by a teacher pack, will guide you through each challenge with a variety of activities to get your class composing.

We work with our partners in Haringey, Enfield, Waltham Forest, Gloucestershire, Southampton, Isle of Wight and Portsmouth to deliver Composition Challenge workshops specially tailored to schools, led by London Sinfonietta composers and musicians. If you are a school in one of these areas and would be interested in a workshop, please get in touch!

Any school can submit their compositions for us to share and perform at our flagship Sound Out Schools Concert each March and online concerts.
