Welcome to Pre Composition 1

 

Program Information

The Farabius Academy of Music offers group sessions for those who want to learn how to compose music. We would love to help you learn music composition with our certified educators. We offer group lessons through an innovative and engaging curriculum for our students. Our unique approach to musical education facilitates a fast and practical learning experience for students.

Music theory is a tool to help students create, understand, and communicate music. In this program, students will learn the skills necessary for success as a composer. You will learn the fundamentals of music theory and the basic building blocks of music that form harmony, melody, and rhythm. You also will be prepared to study harmony and counterpoint in Music Composition 2. Students who attend this course will learn how to transcribe music and write down in notation form their own melody creatively.

There will also be weekly theory and practical assignments, allowing you to practice more writing. In these assignments, you will get real-life practice using the information and techniques learned to write your own melody. We do monthly assessments, which is a necessary part of the learning process; it helps us measure whether our students have really learned what we want them to learn.

Each online lesson takes place between one teacher and up to 6 students. Each session lasts 2 hours (Music theory 60 minutes, solfege 60 minutes.)
