Private Composition Lessons
Students take 3 semesters of private instruction with our faculty. As a student, you are free to choose a faculty member from the Screen Scoring, Concert Music, or Songwriting programs. You will decide your private instructor with your advisor, who will carefully help you to design a plan for your studies.

Orchestration
In order to better serve students with different musical backgrounds, we have created an orchestration placement exam that will serve us to recommend the best orchestration course to begin with from our orchestration sequence. You are free to select the rest of the courses of the sequence as elective courses if you wish.

Recording Sessions
The program recording sessions are linked to your private lessons, as you will be working with your private instructor to create music for these sessions. In addition, orchestration courses have their own recording sessions as well.

Terminal Experience
Students take a Screen Scoring section of our Colloquy in music as their terminal experience. In that class, students will prepare their websites and social presence to be an asset for their professional lives, create a set of reels to pitch for projects, and connect with different professionals in the field.

The Screen Scoring industry requires students with multiple and very different skills. This is why we are open for our students to choose from a wide range of electives, especially in areas such as: Conducting, Scoring, Songwriting, Concert Composition, Music Theory, and Music Technology and Production.
