These projects were done in 30 minutes by my music history students. They were to pick a children's song or nursery rhyme and compose music to it...all in a small amount of time. Their music instruction is quite limited...the high school they attend is on traditional block scheduling, and they have no training whatsoever in music in the grades of 6, 7, or 8...not even an option in their school after 5th grade. However, such limitations have NOT held these students back from making music!
