  Martin Hinckley's book is an introduction to musical composition aimed primarily at GCSE students. The reader is guided through a series of assignments similar to those faced by professional composers and given a framework for experimenting with a variety of musical materials. The book is designed for students of mixed ability with no prior experience of composing, and it encourages them to develop their own musical ideas and the skills necessary for the composing element of the GCSE Music examination. Students are guided through each process, from selecting a topic such as music for an advertisement, to choosing the instruments best suited for their composition.
