Composition: Musical Theater

For musical theater lovers looking to understand what it takes to create and pull off a time-stopping musical theater moment. In this Minor, students are invited to unpack how memorable moments in musical theater are constructed under the guidance of an accomplished musical theater composer.

Over the course of four weeks in an open-air music studio, Composition: Musical Theater students develop deeper understandings of musical theater’s vocabulary by experimenting with the mechanics of song, including how to enter a tuneful moment and return to a scene’s dialogue without missing a beat.

At the end of the class, all students share their work and receive a recording of their composition.

Pre-requisites: No application or prior composition experience required. Classes are grouped according to age division and grade.
