The subject builds on the content of Interactive Composition 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. It further examines the skills required for individual composers to develop their craft in interactive music making and include building a collaboration and realising a new work event.

Interactive Composition is delivered in two parts: Tutorial and Workshop. Tutorial is taught primarily by a specialist mentor through a mixture of individual and group tutorials. Workshop is taught as a seminar and provides the opportunity for group discussion of issues related to interactive composition and a forum for the workshop of new works.

During the subject students will be required to engage in whole group discussion and to present complete and ongoing interactive compositions.
