The Composition Road Map
It’s easy to get started writing music.
What’s more tricky is effectively navigating the international network of opportunities.
This is why I have built a road map.
Weekly Lessons
This is where we deepen the craft. We will explore things such as idea development, formal considerations, compositional techniques, and much more. Additionally, we will focus on a long-term strategy centered around crafting a portfolio that shows versatility, seriousness, and a clear artistic voice.
Professional Recordings
Throughout the academic year, I organize opportunities for my students to have their work professionally recorded by top-level musicians in my own network. These sessions include a guided rehearsal and an audio/video recording of a specific piece of music.
Opportunity Tracker
For each student, I create a gameplan of opportunities that will serve as milestones in the creative process. While this is a separate endeavor from deepening a student’s understanding of composing, it serves to establish the student in the international composition network.
We will focus on achievable goals such as winning composition contests, getting accepted into prestigious composition summer programs, finding commission opportunities, and building an outstanding compositional resume, line by line.
