Set in the beautiful Scottish capital of Edinburgh, the
Pacific Northwest Film Scoring Program (PNWFSP) European Summer Intensive
offers an exceptional opportunity to develop your skills as a composer
whilst enjoying the world's biggest and most diverse international arts
festivals, The Edinburgh International Festival.
The program is held at Edinburgh's Napier University,
set amongst leafy woodlands in Scotland’s beautiful capital city,
it is one of the best-equipped universities in Europe for modern music
education. With surround sound equipped studios running a range of software
and hardware, it’s an ideal location for high-level study in the
creative arts. And as one of only two Universities in the world to be
awarded Pro School status by Avid/Digidesign The makers or Pro-Tools),
the technology and teaching is cutting edge!
There is a very efficient bus service in Edinburgh, with two buses
going directly to Craighouse Campus. The journey from city centre to
the campus takes 15-30 minutes, depending on time of day.
Festivals
For four weeks in August and September, Edinburgh hosts the world’s
biggest arts festival, with performances in music, theatre,
comedy, opera, dance and visual arts – and it’s all
going on during the time of the Summer Intensive! Our accommodations
are based only a short walk from the heart of the action, and
there will be opportunities on most evenings for you to take in
performances, or simply to soak up the atmosphere. As the London
Daily Telegraph said, Edinburgh in the Festival is ‘not
just the most thrilling, beguiling, preposterously enjoyable place
on Earth; it is also wonderfully addictive’. |

The regular cycle of program
courses includes Film Scoring III ( Orchestration and Composing
to Timings) and the labor-intensive Film Scoring IV, in
which students compose and record original scores, using
a studio orchestra, to accompany student films. Due to the
abbreviated summer format and the time demands of Film Scoring
IV, we regret that we are unable to include these offerings
in our summer program at this time. Some basic concepts
from FSIII will be covered.
