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.

  There will be no European Summer Intensive in the Summer of 2007 due to various scheduling conflicts. Look for the program again in the summer of 2008. 

EUROPEAN SUMMER INTENSIVE

Schedule

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, however.

 

A placement test on the first day of the program will determine whether a student is required to take the Practical Music Theory
for the Contemporary Composer
elective the first week of class before being allowed admittance to Film Scoring II in the second week of the program. This requirement is necessary because of the great emphasis in Film Scoring II on examining scores and discussing composition techniques, a focus that requires an adequate level of music theory comprehension. A sample test and key can be obtained in our registration cart system.
