You are about to go on an adventure in a land where music is magic and you must compose to complete the quests that are laid out before you.

The Dragon Quest is a delightful introduction to music composition.

A magical musician is looking for an apprentice until he finds you. If you are willing, he will send you on an adventure that will require you to compose music of your own to overcome challenges and complete your mission.

The Dragon Quest contains several easy music composition exercises that will give students a solid introduction to the magical world of music composition.

In addition to teaching composition, the story in this book explores concepts such as musicianship, courage, perspective taking and smart practice. Through the use of stories, students engage with these ideas and take ownership of these concepts.

No matter what your instrument or your age, The Dragon Quest is sure to become one of your favorite music instruction books of all time.

What instruments can use Music Composition Adventures?

There are specific instructions for 19 of the most common instruments: Piano, Recorder, Guitar, Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Saxophone, Bassoon, French Horn, Trumpet, Trombone, Baritone, Euphonium, Tuba, Pitched Percussion (Marimba, xylophone, etc.), Violin, Viola, Cello and Bass. Unless you play in a gamelan ensemble or you play some other obscure, non-western, musical instruments, if your instrument is not on this list, you should have no trouble following the instructions for another instrument.

Why should students compose?

  • Composing music is a creative form of self expression that is fun and rewarding. Composers take ownership of their own musical creativity. Suddenly, music has a whole new component, one in which they are the creators.
  • Composing music helps with ear training (being able to play what one hears).
  • An understanding of the composition process helps students understand the works of other composers.
  • When students compose, they make decisions about their musical preferences.
  • Composing music helps develop musical memory.

Why should students write music on a page?

The process of writing music on a page is an excellent way to deepen a students understanding of music notation. Putting pencil to paper creates a connection to the details of music notation and their function. It gives real world experience with elements of music that are often only conceptualized or worse, overlooked.

What age is Music Composition Adventures intended for?

Ages 6 and up

What does the student need to know before they can begin The Dragon Quest?

The Dragon Quest is designed to be an easy introduction to writing music. Students don't need a lot of experience with music notation but it is recommended that they have had a preliminary introduction to music notation. This can be given by a general music educator at school, a private lessons teacher or even a parent who has some basic knowledge of music notation.

Will there be a book two?

Yes Be on the look out for Book 2 - The Fear Worms, available soon

Great Teething Toy for an Active Puppy
Our 6-month-old Goldendoodle has really enjoyed chewing on these rings. They’ve been especially helpful while she’s been teething, and so far she hasn’t made a dent in them, which is impressive given how much she chews. There’s clearly some sort of flavor or scent on the toy that makes it especially attractive to her, so it keeps her engaged much longer than some other chew toys we’ve tried. The rings feel durable, well made, and are a great way to keep an active puppy occupied. Highly recommend for teething puppies or dogs that are aggressive chewers.

Super hard plastic
This might be okay for big dogs but my little dogs are not interested at all. I’ve heard if you can’t make an indentation w/ your thumb nail, it’s too hard and your dog could chip or break a tooth…

My aggressive chewer had it roughed up in about 10 minutes, and she lost interest.
Both of my dogs were interested in these right away and started playing with them as soon as I gave them to them. After the first day though, they lost interest. They’ve had them for a couple of weeks now and I can’t really get them to go back to them. These aren’t squeaky toys, which is usually what they prefer, so that may be part of it. The size is decent and works for both of my dogs. My smaller dog isn’t much of an aggressive chewer, but she did chew on it some. My bigger dog is an aggressive chewer (about 85 lbs), and she had this one roughed up pretty quickly. After about 10 minutes, it already had some sharp, jagged edges. That makes me a little concerned about safety since it could scratch her mouth. As far as chew resistance and durability, it didn’t hold up the way I expected for something advertised for aggressive chewers. For value, it’s not the best considering how quickly it wore down and the lack of continued interest from my dogs.

Tough, Engaging Chew Toys That Keep Dogs Busy and Happy
If you’ve got a strong chewer at home, this 2-pack dog ring toy set is a solid choice. It’s designed with durability and engagement in mind, and it really delivers on both. Top Highlights One of the best things about this set is the variety. With two ring-shaped toys featuring different grip angles, dogs get a more dynamic chewing experience. It’s great for single-dog homes to keep things interesting, and even better for multi-dog households since it helps prevent toy-related squabbles. The nylon construction is impressively tough. These toys are clearly built for aggressive chewers and hold up well against repeated use. The ring-shaped block design is easy for dogs to पकड़ and chew, and the added bacon flavor is a big win—it grabs their attention immediately and keeps them coming back. Sizing is well thought out too. These toys are ideal for dogs in the 20–60 lb range, but they’re sturdy enough to handle even stronger chewers on the higher end. They also work nicely for teething puppies, offering relief while encouraging proper chewing habits. Another big benefit is how long they keep dogs occupied. These are the kind of toys that can save your furniture and shoes from destruction by giving your dog a better outlet for their energy. Longer chew time means more mental stimulation for them—and a little more peace and quiet for you. They also double as dental support. The textured surface helps clean teeth and massage gums, turning playtime into something beneficial for your dog’s overall health. Final Thoughts This is a reliable, well-designed chew toy set that balances durability, fun, and functionality. Whether you’re dealing with an aggressive chewer or just want a long-lasting toy that supports healthy habits, this pack is a great investment for both you and your dog.

Finally a toy that isn’t destroyed in 7 minutes
This really is virtually indestructible! My dog is an aggressive tour and she has given this thing the business more often than not, and it does not even have a hole in it! My dog enjoys it immensely! It’s easy to take places. I love that it’s bright yellow and easy to see so I don’t trip over it! Definitely suitable for aggressive chewers!
