Music Composition

Get the music out of your head

Nearly everyone carries tunes around unheard — this ten-week block shows you how to pin them to paper and set them free. In a small writers' room with notation tools and live players, you will draft, arrange and road-test your own material.

It all builds to a studio date and a listening night where each writer premieres one finished piece.

Skills you will take home

• Melodies that stick, with harmonies that lift them
• Two- and four-part writing, first counterpoint and smooth voice leading
• Scoring for small forces: strings, horns and rhythm players
• Arranging essentials — range, colour and balance across the band
• Clean scores and parts, capped by a produced studio session

Is it your level?

Made for players and songwriters who read a chart or score and itch to write originals. A quick placement chat before week one slots you into the right writers' room.
