Music Composition

We believe that making and arranging music should be an integral part of all students of music. Our workshops and camps give students the skills and techniques to transcribe the music in their mind and expand their vocabulary and knowledge of music through listening, experimenting, and creating.

Being actively involved in the creation of music:

  • Wakes up creativity
  • Boosts confidence and self-esteem
  • Teaches respect towards musical details
  • Helps to become a stronger performer
  • Improves the retention of music
  • Fosters patience and discipline
  • Cultivates a sense of ownership
  • Lights up imagination
