Are you one of the many people who enjoy singing but would like to be able to sight sing with greater confidence?
Or are you wanting to acquire some technique and confidence in relation to the sight singing elements of the aural tests?
Or do you lack confidence in sight reading on your instrument and therefore would benefit from taking a vocal approach to reading and hearing the sound of the music in your head before playing it?

MUSIC COMPOSITION DAY
- Saturday 3rd November 2012
- 9.45am-4.15pm
- Wombwell
- South Yorkshire
Are you taking 'A' level or GCSE music and wondering how to deal with the composition element?
Or do you simply enjoy composing and want to learn more about how to tackle it?
Or are you someone who can improvise ideas which you then struggle to write down?
This is going to be a very practical day that will begin with how to structure a composition so that it hangs together with strong external and internal structure. We will then consider the key guiding principles in relation to melody writing, phrase shape and phrase balance, which will also encompass our dealings with rhythm. The day will move on to cover a proper understanding of harmony - which chords to use and how to use them. From there we will go on to consider use of texture and how to write for instruments and voices. Then we will think about how to polish a composition with dynamics, phrasing, use of tempo and other expressive issues. We will also make time to learn how to notate improvised musical ideas.
