Overview

Each student has a weekly private lesson and also participates in the Composition Studio Class, which meets weekly to discuss topics in the field of composition and contemporary music.

Each semester, the studio presents a student-produced recital where works completed that term are performed and recorded at a public concert.

Features

All composition majors continue study on their major instrument, and are expected to perform at a very high level.

The philosophy of the Music Composition program from University of Redlands embraces and promotes a high level of musicianship, stylistic diversity, technical proficiency, musical sensitivity, aesthetic engagement, and creating a positive, supportive space for musical growth.
