Theory & practice
For each lesson, students study relevant interactive topics, test themselves with the built-in quiz, and try out what they've learned in the Toolbox. Topics include melody, harmony, scales, rhythm, dynamics, transformations, timbre, texture, and form.

Toolbox
Compass's Toolbox is where students record and develop musical ideas. It includes a large library of motives (e.g. chord sequences, rhythms, scales) to use plus tools to create canons, inversions, ostinati etc., and combine material in new ways.

Structured projects
The lessons lead on to composition projects such as theme and variations, songwriting, sonata form and blues. Students develop music in the Toolbox, and can also transfer it to Sibelius 3 or any sequencer.
