Although there is a performance element to these classes, they are intended to gauge participants' ability to share what they create; i.e. musical notation or the ability to write down their works. Accordingly, participants are asked to provide written music as well as a digital file of their composition by Mon., March 27, 2023. Participants will also be asked to perform their music live at the Festival.
Entry fees include a workshop with the Adjudicator. This will be scheduled at a mutually agreeable time for participants and Adjudicator.
This class is for original compositions in any musical genre. You may use as many sequenced parts as you wish. Time limits: 5 min for ages 9 & under, 7 min for all others. An additional 5 min is permitted for setup.
