SYLLABUS 

COMPOSITION - Sonata Development Sections

 

Instructor - Andrew James Clark - www.andrewjamesclark.ca

 

This course uses Sonata Form to foster the basic composition skills needed to expand and develop musical ideas into cohesive long-form musical narratives. Acquiring these skills will help students avoid relying upon improvisation, repetition and the constant introduction of new ideas as the primary way by which they expand their works. The course will culminate with the composition of a one movement Sonata.
