Making Music

2.5-hour workshop, including tour of house
£4.50 per student

Working with a professional musician and composer students will look at traditional compositional techniques and musical devices such as theme and variation, ground bass, structure and form. Students will look at each in turn and discuss to what extent they have been used in specific pieces of baroque music. Students will then work with the composer on ways in which these techniques can be incorporated into their own compositions or arrangements. Students may bring work in progress to the workshop or start a new composition.
