What do you do to encourage your students to compose or explore more creativity? Have you thought about incorporating more composition in your teaching? And what about yourself: have you tried composing, but struggled with ideas or execution?

Today’s guest is Evan Hunter, a composer and piano teacher who loves storytelling! We talk about how stories can stimulate compositional ideas for you and your students. He gives advice on how to get started with composition so it’s not so scary for students. Like doodling on paper or playing with legos, curiosity is an important factor. Once you know you’re allowed to just play around, it’s much easier to let go and see what you create! During the episode Evan shares one of his pieces, “Light Showers.” He reads the story and we listen to the gorgeous music!
