Music Composition Intro CampJune 24 - 28, 20249:00 - 4:00 pm, Ages 13 - 18
Are you a musician who has always wanted to compose your own works? At the Music Composition Intro Camp, we will learn to write and engrave our own compositions. Through structured listening, discussion, application, and improvisation, you will learn elements of the composer’s creative process. Topics will include melodic construction, harmony, counterpoint, form, instrumentation, and contemporary practices. We will also explore digital notation software and how to prepare works for publishing and delivering to a performer. At the end of camp, you will have the chance to showcase your work and leave the camp with a new work written for a solo instrument.
What you should know to take this workshop: basic understanding of treble and bass clef, experience playing an instrument, basic understanding of music theory (scales, key signatures, time signatures).
