Students have available to them three computer work stations with notation software and other music education programs. This course gives you the information you need to pass college music entrance exams. It focuses on major and minor scales, intervals, keys, triads, and harmonization of melodies. It's because you can't read and learn music quickly without it. If you don't understand this material at sight , you will never be able to keep up with the demands of a college or music career.
Composition Includes the structure of melodies, musical form and orchestration.
Students will begin with directed studies that teach them the process of composition, then move on to independent projects. Understand that this is very challenging material. A number of ASMP students have had their compositions performed by local high school bands and by the Union Symphony Orchestra. Selected students may be invited to conduct church or community ensembles. To go back to the top of the page, click here .
