• Objectives
  The course aims to help you produce, with guidance, a major composition or series of compositions; develop the use of advanced compositional techniques; establish the art of developing, revisiting and reforming musical ideas over a sustained period.
• Course description
  This course will develop your technical and artistic skills as a composer and leads to a substantial piece of work using advanced compositional techniques. There are no course materials. Instead, the course takes the form of a compositional plan which you negotiate with your tutor, who will be an established composer. Students embarking on this course usually have in mind a major piece of work which they want to write, for instance a symphonic work, an oratorio, an opera or a song cycle. The student and their tutor-composer work together for about a year as the piece develops. This personal and very flexible approach is usually greatly appreciated by students and tutors and significant works are often the result of this close collaboration.
  
  The OCA provides a framework which you use to develop and agree a compositional plan with your tutor.
