Composition Lessons for Kids in San Antonio
Inspire your child’s creativity in a fun and engaging environment
Just like you, we want to see your child enjoy music, have fun, and develop into a well-rounded, capable person. We also understand that as a busy parent, you need a program you can trust to work with your schedule.
That’s why we designed our Arpeggio® lesson system with versatility in mind. Programs like Suzuki, ABRSM, or the Royal Conservatory provide a list of songs to follow, but our system focuses on developing your child’s skills so they can eventually create and compose any music they imagine. That’s true growth and real learning.
Keeping You In The Loop
Our system ensures you can track your child’s progress through detailed weekly notes. Additionally, they will have opportunities to showcase their creativity by participating in our student sharing hour, open mics, or regular recitals. These events provide visible results that inspire confidence and feelings of self-empowerment.
Beginner Child Music Composition Lessons
The imagination of a child is boundless, and our beginner composition lessons focus on nurturing that creativity. At the same time, we provide the structure and fundamental theory needed to help them start composing music with confidence.
Intermediate Child Composition Lessons
Once your child begins creating their own music, the next step is mastering more complicated techniques and rules. This includes learning about the sounds and ranges of instruments, musical forms, and other important skills that will further refine their compositions.
Advanced Child Music Composition Lessons
Did you know the creative industry surpasses the automotive industry in size? Composers often lead the way in this field, generating a steady income through licensing. We provide expert guidance to children who aspire to become professional composers, preparing them for conservatories, college admissions, or the process of building a professional portfolio.

The Problem With Other Programs
Many of our students come to us after taking lessons from suboptimal providers. They tried online courses or apps, like YouTube, Suzuki, and TakeLessons, which lack true personalization. Either that or they worked with instructors who didn’t have genuine teaching experience.
As a result, these students were unable to achieve the kind of progress they wanted. Many felt frustrated during sessions, or by videos they paid for, because they still had to essentially teach themselves. Their instructors might have shown them what to do, but not the optimal way to do it, leading to wasted effort, lost time, and unnecessary expense.
Don’t give up on your love for music! The good news is that you’ve found the best program for learning music in a reliable and science-backed way. Our Arpeggio® lesson system, created right here at Sage Music®, is designed to ensure your success.
Different Music Composition Lesson Types
Not all composition lessons are alike. Each musical style comes with its own techniques and considerations. Some focus on vocal writing, others on improvisation, and some involve advanced orchestration.
Private Composition Lessons
All of our composition lessons are carried out in a private, one-on-one format. This is done intentionally. We believe that personalized feedback is essential for developing your unique voice as a composer. Group classes simply can’t provide this level of careful, individual attention.
Classical Composition Lessons
If you're inspired by the works of Mozart, Brahms, Schoenberg, or Reich, this is the path for you. Whether you want to explore complex music theory, embrace current post-modern trends, or craft your own signature style, we’ll guide you every step of the way through classical composition.
Jazz Composition Lessons
Jazz composition demands a strong grasp of theory and improvisation so that your work will make sense for the performers. We’ll teach you everything you need to know to write within this highly flexible and spontaneous genre and compose breathtaking jazz pieces.
Songwriting Lessons
While many people don’t associate songwriting with traditional composition, it is just another unique branch of the art form. Our songwriting classes place less emphasis on music theory, focusing more on structure, clarity, and meaningful lyrics. You'll also learn how to arrange your songs for voice, guitar, piano, or even a full band arrangement.
