1. Take your instrument. If you don't have one, just sing or hum or something.
2. Play (or sing or hum) a tone. Carry on as long as you feel like it (or can without asphyxiating)
3. Now do another one.
4. And another.
5. Maybe you fancy playing a bunch of fast ones? Or not? Well, do or don't, whatever you feel like.
6. Maybe you fancy playing more than one at the same time? Well, why not? If you can only produce one tone at a time, consider having a friend handy.
7. Continue in this vein as long as you please.
8. Hey presto! You've just composed!
9. Write it down if you like. Or not. Doesn't really matter.
10. If you want to do something more complicated there'll probably be editing involved, but that's about it, really.

You've just planned my Yr 6 lesson for me tomorrow. Thanks!
We aim to please. Well, we don't, clearly, but it's nice when it happens inadvertently.
I think it's the writing down of the things I make up that freaks me out. Because I sing new made-up music to Elliot every day....
