This third installment in the four-semester composition/orchestration sequence will allow students the opportunity to hone their skills through a practicum in film and musical genre scoring.

The assignments will be a combination of electronic, acoustic, and combination scores, where students will demonstrate their mastery of different dramatic scoring-to-picture styles. This class is the practical application of techniques covered in Scoring I and II, allowing students to create a portfolio of professional-level work.
