Composition Workshop

On Friday students in Years 9 to11 Music had the opportunity to engage in a composition workshop with Brendan Collins. 

Mr Collins is currently the Chief Brass Examiner of NSW for the Australian Music Examinations Board and the Composer-in-Residence at Barker College, Sydney. He has also worked as Composer-in Residence for the Sydney Youth Orchestra.  His compositions are frequently performed and recorded throughout the world by many leading international artists and his music is broadcast regularly on ABC ClassicFM. 

He explored the process of composition in a hands-on manner, where several students were able to contribute to a short, collaborative piece. Students were shown HSC exemplars and given helpful tips on springboarding into their own.
