International Summer Music (Music Composition) Program - 2 weeks:
• All students must be at an advanced level; other instrument or course choices can be at lower level. 

• LMFL welcomes younger advanced students who are at Performer level in at least one instrument, and accompanied by a parent or guardian.

• In this comprehensive course, you will participate in an individual 1-hour lesson every two days, and a seminar delivered in English every other day.

• The aim of the one-to-one tuition is to create a new composition during the course which will be performed at the final concert (time and performers permitting).

• The content of the individual lessons will vary according to your level. You will study diverse composition techniques according to your aesthetic preferences. These may range from traditional tonal harmony to more elaborate musical expression.

• In addition, you will learn about musical scripting software, with a focus on using Sibelius notation software.

• In the seminars, you will study the most significant influences on contemporary music in some detail.

• Topics include: Nationalism; Impressionism; Neo-classicism; Twelve-tone technique or dodecaphony; Minimalism; Jazz.

• Another important aspect of this course is musical analysis and listening, which will stimulate debate and encourage you towards your own creativity.
