A unit of the capstone Graduate Semester in L.A., this course is designed to apprise MFA students of the various avenues of employment for aspiring composers of music for the screen, and to coach them in the self-promotional skills peculiar to the motion picture industry. We will explore all the ancillary trades, such as music editing, orchestration, sound design, music copying, and various studio-based jobs in addition to the paths followed by successful composers. There will be almost daily visits from industry professionals in all areas of the trade.
