A grieving mother is asking musicians to help finish her 12-year-old son's only classical music composition in time for his funeral on Sunday.

Kyan Pennell passed away on January 31 after a tragic accident at his family's Tuchekoi property, south east of Gympie, when he was caught between a trailer and a gate.

Amanda Brierley said Kyan started teaching himself how to play the piano seven months ago and, unbeknownst to her, was trying to write his own music.

"The thing that has given us some little part of Kyan to hold onto is when I found this composition he was working on in the middle of a blank exercise book," she told ABC Radio Brisbane.

Ms Brierley posted a photo of Kyan's unfinished work on social media and asked musicians to complete the piece.

"This was just the intro, it is unfinished," she wrote.

"He was building up to a grand mid-section and then would do an ending but he never got to complete what was in his mind's eye.

"He imagined it to be performed by wind and string instruments, and of course his beloved piano."

Kyan's 'secret song' given wings by orchestras, famous musicians during 'deeply moving' funeral

The exquisite music Kyan Pennell heard in his head as he wrote his first composition has been given flight at the 12-year-old's funeral, with his mother saying she has been humbled by the "kindness of strangers" who recorded her son's fledgling work.

Those strangers include orchestras and famous musicians from around the world who answered Amanda Brierley's plea on social media for help in finishing the musical score her son had been composing in secret.
