לפני 3 years5:34

5:34

This episode talks about the one big question you should ask yourself if you're trying to develop and grow as a composer. From years of teaching, I've learned that beginners and more advanced composers can get so much out of studying the same piece of music - but they'll take completely different lessons from it. So, if you're interested in growing as a composer, whatever level you're at, have a listen! Join the Free Composing Workshop! It's happening this week, from the 29th April to 6th May.

How to Actually Learn Composing - Composition Pedagogy with David Conte 42:20

לפני 3 years42:20

42:20

This is one of the most illuminating conversations on music I have had in living memory. Our guest today is David Conte, who is Chair of Composition at the San Francisco Conservatory, student of Nadia Boulanger, and apprentice of Aaron Copland. He's a successful composer with over a hundred published works, many of which are becoming staples of the modern repertoire. In this interview, he talks about: The key points he learnt from Nadia Boulanger The skills he finds most valuable for a composer to learn His thoughts on the "chief job of a composer" What originality in composing really means, and where it comes from The utility of learning traditional harmony and counterpoint Why Nadia Boulanger's music is receiving newfound attention And much more. I'm not exaggerating when I say I was fascinated by David's thoughts, which stem from his decades of experience teaching and learning composition at the highest level. I really think you'll enjoy this conversation, and you'll learn a lot too.
