(Advanced Composition Class) 8-Week course.

THE MISSION

A challenge-based course using targeted obstacles to stretch composition skills and deepen sensory awareness.

Each week we will discuss a compositional concept and composers will be given a musical restraint assignment, the parameters of which will require them to rely on multiple senses and musical textures to complete the task.

At the completion of this course, composers will have written 8 unique tracks outside of their comfort zone.
