For the budding songwriter and future composer, this class will ignite students’ imaginations and explore concepts such as theme, variation, song-form and orchestration. Students interact with online notation software so they can continue to experiment and compose at home. Each semester concludes with a final performance of students’ original compositions played by a live professional ensemble. This unique opportunity to interact and collaborate with professional musicians gives students a real-world experience in composition. No prior experience in composition is necessary for this class, but we recommend that students have two years in private lessons prior to taking this course.
