Type of Composer Job: Mood Music for Children

*composer job fulfilled*

Description: Roylco manufacturers art materials for young children, ages three to nine years old. We’re developing a new kit that aims to introduce children to moods and emotions through music and art. The kit will include a CD of short musical snippets, three to five minutes long. Each snippet will have a “mood” theme; happy, sad, angry, surprised, etc. There will be up to 24 snippets covering 8 different moods (moods will be repeated). We’ll give the young students materials they will use to “draw” what they hear on a CD. We would like you to compose original music focusing on the moods and provide it to us in a format that we can burn to CD to include in our kit. I envision 8 snippets of very simple music, for instance, keyboard only; 8 snippets will develop these themes and may include percussion; the last 8 snippets will be slightly more complex. The rhythm of the pieces should reflect the moods, and should range from lento to vivace. We would like to include a list of vocabulary in the kit to describe the music in technical terms. A range of ethnic music would be nice, but not essential.

    Hi Peter, I would like to contribute to your project if you still need composers/submissions. I have previously created original music for corporate videos for TGIFridays and MetLife, and radio commercial jingles that aired in the Providence, RI area. I have been hired to compose all of the music for a new entertainment television magazine that will begin airing throughout New England beginning May 30. I am currently preparing to score a couple independent films and a soap opera that begins production this fall. I would be happy to send you a demo of my previous work. Please advise of a contact email to which I can send it.

    Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you.

    Sincerely,
