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.

arrange their own accommodations. 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:

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.
