This course develops technical skills, allowing for development in personal compositional work, extending musical studies through hands-on working in a variety of compositional styles. It introduces students to composition and ensures that all music students have a sound knowledge of music theory. Rudiments are taught through the medium of composition. The foundations of good voice leading are laid through the study of counterpoint. Non BMus students registering for this course would need to have advanced musical literacy skills.
