This subject further introduces students to the practices and conventions of musical composition as a personally-directed creative activity. Students create a folio of original music (scores and recordings) including composition projects covering areas of compositional philosophy, technique, directed listening and score reading. They will collectively stage a concert that will include one of their own works.
