Composition pedagogy is an emerging and developing discipline in the constantly changing arts sector. In the National Core Curriculum for Basic Education in the Arts, composition is considered a natural part of a child’s musical growth.
Recommendation for the National Core Curriculum for Basic Education in the Arts
The goal of the curriculum working group of the Society of Finnish Composers is to achieve equity in composition teaching both regionally and in terms of the substantive competence of composition teachers, while encouraging music institutes to establish good practices in composition teaching in constructive collaboration with composers.
