Want to learn how to compose music for yourself or a small ensemble?

In the Composition Course participants will work with a professional composer to investigate how to use melody, harmony, form, accompaniment, texture, and orchestration to create a composition for small wind ensemble.

Participants will: 

  • Apply knowledge of chord tones and non-chord tones to create melodies over basic chord progressions.
  • Use form to create structure and contrast in a composition.
  • Analyze and design bass lines and background lines to establish style.
  • Apply knowledge of range, timbre, and percussive colours to create variety and interest in music.
The program will be delivered entirely online with one virtual class/session per week.  Running over only 4 weeks, the Composing Course will connect participants through the learning process, facilitating composition of a small band ensemble piece within the program.

Sessions will run weekly on TUESDAYS from 4:00 - 5:00pm beginning the week of July 12.

Prerequisite Knowledge for the course:

Either:

·  Be able to read and write treble and bass clefs on the staff.

  • Understand and be able to read and write whole notes, dotted half notes, quarter notes, and their equivalent rests.

·  Able to write out and play at least one major scale on your instrument.

Or:

·  Have at least two years' experience playing in band.
