Composing and improvising KS1

This Music video introduces the basics of teaching composing and improvising to KS1 pupils. It explains how to guide children through experimenting with voice, body percussion and instruments, encouraging creativity before introducing structure. With practical advice and classroom examples, it supports teachers in laying the foundations for future musical composition.

At KS1, pupils experiment with sound – creating, selecting and combining sounds in preparation for composing and improvising in KS2
