As a provider of educational opportunities for students, The Pacific Northwest Film Scoring Program does not offer services for professional productions, filmmakers or composers. Student musicians who perform on the scores do so for the educational experience of working in a recording studio environment.

EUROPEAN SUMMER INTENSIVE

Offered in conjunction with the Screen Academy Scotland at Napier University

Introduction

Registration for the 2006 program in Edinburgh is now closed.

The two-week program for 2006 is scheduled to run from Monday, August 21st through Friday, September 1st, from 10:00 AM to 5:30 PM at the Ian Tomlin School of Music on the Craig House Campus of Napier University. A time for registering and meeting the instructors is also scheduled for Sunday, August 20th, beginning at 6.00 P.M.

UPDATE! A limited number of spaces in Napier University shared student apartments are now available. These four-person apartments include private locking bedrooms with shared kitchen, bathroom and living areas. To reserve a space or for more details, visit the program registration pages.

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 Napier University’s Ian Tomlin School of Music, which is on the Craighouse Campus in Morningside, a suburb just south west of Edinburgh. The campus is set in wooded parklands, with beautiful walks and trails and extensive views over the city. The buildings are open throughout the day and evenings should you wish to continue working after class. Food is available in the cafeteria during the day.

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

The PNWFSP European Summer Intensive runs concurrently with the Edinburgh International Festival, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and the Edinburgh International Film Festival. Plan now to take your classes during the day and spend time your evenings at the festivals!

There are many places to stay in Edinburgh and it is easy to make your way to the Craighouse Campus via public transportation from just about anywhere in Edinburgh. MAKE YOUR RESERVATIONS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, as the hotels, dorm rooms, and other accommodations of the city fill up due to the festivals happening simultaneously with the program.

Here are some Web sites to help you find accommodations:

Payments

You can pay tuition for the European Summer Intensive either by credit card directly on our site, or via PayPal, which also allows you to pay securely by credit card, even without a PayPal account. Select your preferred payment method during the registration process.

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.

The European Summer Intensive
is offered in conjunction with the Screen Academy Scotland at Napier University.
