Taught by Thomas Allen
Learn the basics of composing and expressing yourself through your own music. Students will be introduced to creating motifs and melodic forms (sentences and periods), combining melody with accompaniment, binary/ternary forms, and expanding a melody into a small form piece (binary or ternary). First Steps in Composition Workshop is for students who are already comfortable with musical notation and an instrument (at least two years of lessons). This is a very hands-on experience, where everyone will learn how to create something small but meaningful.
