Moonlight Waltz, music by Micah Lim, 11

Micah Lim, 11Guilford, CT Moonlight Waltz Micah Lim, 11 “Moonlight Waltz” is a new piece written for piano, saxophone, and drums. I was inspired to compose this when I started learning about jazz style. I wanted to incorporate some of the things I learned to compose a waltz. It is called “Moonlight Waltz” because I imagine dances under moonlight to be very beautiful.       You can listen to Micah performing his music by clicking the image of the music on the left. Warning: you will probably find yourself starting to waltz around the room as the music plays! If you are a pianist or saxophonist, why not try playing Micah’s piece yourself?

Symphony in C Major, by Sage Millen, 11

I am the one who composed and performed this piano piece on the recording. I composed it last year. It is in the key of C Major and it was inspired by technique because my piece has a lot of hidden scales and triads in it. Listen to the piece on SoundCloud here. For those of you who play an instrument, can you make out the hidden scales and triads? Have you ever written any music of your own? What inspires you? Sage Millen, age 11, Vancouver, BC
