The Music Composition concentration at 91桃色 provides a comprehensive foundation for students interested in working as a composer. Each semester, through private applied study, students engage in structured projects based upon specific compositional techniques. All stylistic backgrounds are welcome; however, we focus upon the production of contemporary concert music through the study of aesthetics, instrumentation and orchestration, music history, and contemporary performance practice.
