What will I learn?

You will develop a thorough command of music theory, including scales, harmony, counterpoint, and large-scale musical form. You will learn to write compelling melodies, harmonise them with diatonic and chromatic chords, and compose polyphonic textures using species counterpoint and fugue. The course covers orchestration for every instrument family, contemporary techniques from minimalism to serialism, and professional score preparation using industry-standard notation software. You will also explore film scoring, electroacoustic composition, and the business side of being a composer. By the end, you will complete an original composition with a full score, a recording, and a professional programme note.
