Meet Gracie; the Composer

Live Version: Feel the Beat for Violin and Piano by Gracie S.
Live Version: Welcome to the FairGround for Violin and Piano by Gracie S.
Live Version: School Time for Level 1 Piano
Instead of playing other people's music, I enjoy playing and writing my own. Working through the Tom Gates books and music theory with Chris has inspired me to compose. I really enjoyed composing my other songs and wanted to make another fun song with a different melody. I want to share my love for making music.

Bye Bye Dowson We Are Leaving
I wrote this song in memory of my primary school and the class of 2025. I played this song for my class and the headmistress. Everyone said it was amazing and really good. Bye bye Dowson Primary School Academy, thank you for the memories. Thank you to all of the teacher's who taught me, even if you have not been my teacher over the seven years I have been at the school. I will miss you all.
Inspired by Learning and Fun
Feel The Beat
Feel The Beat was inspired by the Tom Gates books and playing some of the music with my Gramps. I thought it would be fun to create my own composition, and this is what I created.

Welcome to The FairGround
I like going to fairgrounds as it makes me feel happy. I wanted to put this into my music. My favourite fairground ride is the carousel.

The Summer Wind Blows
I composed The Summer Wind Blows when I was having fun playing with the sounds on my violin, and it made me think of a soft summer breeze.

Expressing Feelings and Celebrations
Valentine's Love
Gracie has written a lovely new piece for Valentine's Day. 7 bars in 7 quaver beats per bar (7 + 7 = 14th of the month), and it is recommended to play it a second time as February is the second month.

Happy Easter from Gracie
I loved composing my Valentine's song, and I love Bunnies and Easter music. I thought it would be nice to combine and create a song for Easter about Bunnies. The song was created with my words, "Bun-ny, Bun-ny, Bun-ny, Bun-ny, Hop, Bun-ny Hop..."
