In this fun and creative workshop for young composers of all levels, students will compose a suite of miniatures for voice and piano. Director Matthew Cmiel, along with accomplished faculty and guest artists, will provide guidance and feedback as participants refine their work. The camp culminates in a public performance of student works by professional musicians. Daily activities include classes on composing songs and writing for the voice, a hands-on guide to the creative process—where students develop works together in small groups and individually within a single day, an afternoon class where students comment on, work with, and study each others’ music and get feedback from guest artist-performers, private lessons with one of our instructors, and a class to help students craft their own text for lyrics. Come create something! Beginners welcome.
