Composition of nursery rhymes (student’s work)
One day, a retired student said he composed 12 songs and drew 12 pictures for his granddaughter and planned to give this present to her 1st birthday as a surprise. What a sweet grandpa! So we spent two months doing harmonisation and arrangement. Try to create different mood and character to match the drawings. Although he is a grade 5 student with limited theory background, he is so hardworking and finishes this challenging task within two months. (There may be some mistakes though.)
Here are two excepts of his work. He played the songs by himself and gave me a set of songs and drawings at the end! I love it!
