ENROLLING NOW:

INTRO. TO COMPUTER MUSIC (10 weeks) – $600

From fundamentals to making actual music, we’ll use Max 8 software to explore the foundational techniques of electronic sound synthesis, build computer instruments, and gain practical experience incorporating those tools into our own musical practice. No prior programming or electronic music experience is necessary for this workshop; musical training is recommended.

THE COMPOSER BOOTCAMP (5 weeks) – $350

Deepen your understanding of how theory, orchestration, and form, combine to create the masterwork compositions of the past and present. This workshop fosters a deeper command of the fundamental techniques of composition through score study, exercises, and critical discussion. From creative work to analysis, this workshop helps you take your craft to the next level.

COMPOSITION MASTERCLASS (single session) – $200

Your scores are the primary way you communicate your musical voice and show schools, employers, competitions, and grant organizations who you are, what you do, and why it matters. In this workshop, we will explore what makes your music distinct and exciting, and how to most effectively communicate that in your music and scores. In addition to individual, personalized feedback, meeting in small groups allows you to learn from feedback to your colleagues, as well.
