About our Young Composers Course
This is a unique opportunity for composers aged 14-18 to receive one-to-one tutoring and hear their own composition performed by staff and students from Junior Guildhall and Guildhall School.
The course, which will take place over Zoom, is designed for students working towards GCSE or A Level Music and/or students hoping to enhance their composition skills outside of an exam environment.
You will work with an experienced composition teacher on a one-to-one basis, in addition to taking part in two group workshops (introductory and closing) led by esteemed Guildhall staff. The final workshop will include an opportunity for course tutors to explore and perform student compositions and offer valuable feedback. The course will consist of eight and a half hours of tuition, comprised of six hours of individual tuition, an hour-long opening workshop and a 90-minute closing workshop, with an informal concert.
The course leader is Paul Whitmarsh and the workshop leader is Jeffrey Wilson.
Please be aware that the course is not GCSE/A-Level exam board specific.
