Supriya's Music Composing

Supriya has been playing with the piano today. She came up with a lovely theme and really memorized it and has been playing it the whole day. I have explained to her what a theme is and right now she is trying to come up with variations on her original theme. First it was all white keys. Now she is adding the black keys. I showed her how you build a tune by starting with a theme, going away from your original theme or "home base", doing something similar and then coming back to repeat home base. She is getting the idea. (As Supriya is experimenting at the piano, I hear Aseem humming her theme while playing at the Lego table!)

I will have her record the tune tomorrow and then find a way to post it somewhere on the web. I will also try to get some classical music to demonstrate the concept.
