Summer Composition/Music Technology Intensive
Summer Composition/Music Technology Intensive
The Summer Composition/Music Technology Intensive at UNCSA is ideal for high school and college students interested in developing their creative potential in composition.
Join UNCSA composition faculty, alumni and guest artists for a two-week journey as we explore composition and music creation! Using both electronic and acoustic techniques, participants explore their compositional voices through individual lessons, group classes in music theory and instrumentation, and a professional reading/recording session. We can't wait to hear your music!
This year, the Composition Intensive will be in-person and on-campus. Over the course of two weeks, students will enjoy:
- Private composition lessons with UNCSA faculty (3-4/week)
- Studio class
- Music technology seminars
- Workshops on college/conservatory applications, copyright, and networking
- Musical improv games
The Intensive will culminate in a reading/recording session with professional musicians where they record student chamber works at UNCSA's Watson Hall.
Summer Composition/Music Technology is a great preparatory workshop for students who will be auditioning for college and conservatory composition programs in the fall. Previous Summer Composition Workshop students have gone on to enroll in the top undergraduate music composition programs around the country including Oberlin Conservatory, Berklee College of Music, Curtis Institute of Music, Boston Conservatory, University of North Texas - School of Music, Catholic University - Benjamin T. Rome School of Music and the University of North Carolina School of the Arts.
