The homeschool composition curriculum that turns piano students into composers — kids who sit down at the keyboard because they finally have something of their own to write.
Your child can read music. They can play the notes on the page — someone else's notes, written by someone else, a long time ago. And somewhere in the third or fourth year, the spark goes quiet. They practice because they're told to.
It is almost never a failure of talent or teaching. It is that music never became something they make — only something they perform. The day it becomes theirs is the day they stop walking away.
Not worksheets. Not theory drills to pass a test. A piece of music, in their own hand — and by the end of the first year, four of them.
A first piece in the rhythm of speech. Heard first, then written down.
A second voice walks against the first — consonance, dissonance, the pull home.
Soprano, alto, tenor, bass: the architecture under every hymn they already know.
A finished piece in their own hand — recorded, printed, played for the family.
What used to be a vague hope — someday she'll write music — becomes a folder of finished pieces, in her own hand, on the piano.
Your child starts where they are — and the world they enter grows up as they do.
An adventure-map world with colorful note characters, real staff notation, and playable tools — never just videos. The ear leads, and every lesson can be read aloud for pre-readers.
Preview the Young Composers Track →The same craft, drawn in the geometry of music itself — the tonal diagrams Maestro sketches beside every piece your child writes. Refined notation, real counterpoint, the composer's own tools.
Preview the curriculum →Twelve stages, 123 weeks, a single daily practice. The first year ends in four finished pieces; the fourth ends in a capstone composition your child writes, records, and keeps. A real credential — completable at home, on your schedule, transcript-ready and ESA-eligible.
The first four pieces — melody, two voices, chorale, a song.
Counterpoint and form: the shapes music moves through.
Harmony and the masters, studied bar by bar.
A capstone composition, written and recorded. The certificate earned.
$199 the first year, $299 each year after. No tiers, no upsells — the whole method, one price.
Yes. Gradus is parent-level reimbursable in ESA states — you submit your own receipts, no vendor approval needed. A syllabus, a scope-and-sequence, and clean invoices come ready for your file.
No — it completes it. Their teacher keeps the playing; Gradus adds the composing. Glad they learned the instrument. Now give them something of their own to write.
Built on the method that trained Mozart, Beethoven, and Brahms — rebuilt as a daily practice your child does, not watches.
