International Alliance of Young Composers & Songwriters
Welcome to all music educators anywhere in the world!
You may submit the music that your young students have written to participate in a variety of programs presented by IAYCS through virtual spaces.
Students may participate in sharing sessions and collaborations presented by IAYCS. As we sometimes hear from music teachers, the idea that children and young people can create music is a lesser understood idea. Through our website, music created by young people under the age of 23 will be collected and shared with the world.
Teachers may log in and find different genres and styles of all types of music to share with students and each other. Music can be selected to use in lesson planning and discussion for culturally relevant and responsive music teaching and learning. Teachers may share with each other ideas, ask questions, and share with students ideas of creative and critical thinking through music.
We are so happy you are here. Please join us!
