MUS 320 - Snow Pond Composers Workshop

2 CR

The Snow Pond Composers Workshop at Snow Pond Music Festival is a week of intensive input and experiences for creative growth for undergraduate composers. In addition to private lessons and master class sessions with faculty composers, participants will explore new imaginative territories with instructional sessions on improvisation, technology, and genre-blending. Time will be provided for on-site composing and participants will have a short piece read by the visiting performing artist. In addition to welcoming traditional approaches to composition, the workshop is also receptive to and will explore styles that blend rock, jazz, world music, electronics, improvisation, and other diverse elements into the compositional mix.

Prerequisite(s): evidence of appropriate prior compositional experience via pre-screened admission to program in the application process.
