Over the course of four sessions, students will learn the fundamentals of composing, arranging and orchestrating music. Guided by professional composer and Governor's School President Dr. Cedric Adderley, they will also gain insight into opportunities and careers in composing music.
By the end of the workshop, each student will have completed at least one original composition and have working knowledge to continue writing their own music!
