No music-writing experience necessary! This is for students who enjoy creating music on their instrument, with their voice, or in their head, but need help getting the notes onto the paper. Beginners are welcome-if you've never had a music lesson, you will learn about the various notes and their values and pitches and how to write them (notate) on the musical staff. For intermediate or advanced students who already know how to notate, you can delve right into composition study, which includes exercises in counterpoint, harmony, as well as polishing and fine-tuning your own compositions until they are cohesive and bear your unique "thumbprint." Students may also use music engraving software to electronically notate music onto the staff and create professional-looking scores.
