The University of Missouri Kansas City’s world renowned Conservatory of Music and Dance is hosting a special summer opportunity for young aspiring music composers. For talented students with an interest in pursuing a collegiate degree from a music conservatory, this is an ideal summer educational situation.
Students ages 14 and older are invited to foster their talents through group work, private instruction, and personal interaction with professional composers and musicians during the week-long workshop from Friday, June 17 through Friday June 24.
The young composers will participate in seminar-style discussions on topics including:
- notation
- music theory
- orchestration
- aesthetics of music
- text setting
In addition, the workshop participants will:
- listen to, analyze, and discuss current musical compositions, as well historical pieces
- create a new composition for individualized critique
- receive private lessons offering personalized feedback
- enjoy evening concerts by special guest performers (see schedule below)
While no experience in music composition is required, workshop organizers indicate that eligible students should:
- be relatively experienced musicians
