Composition

You should submit recent examples of your compositions and recordings and software files wherever convenient. If the submissions are considered suitable for first study Composition, we will ask you to attend an interview.  

As the programme is very student-centered we place a great deal of emphasis on the interview. To be successful we expect that you will show style, imagination, an adventurous approach to composition and, above all, potential to develop your beliefs and skills throughout the course.
