Description:

This course explores the commercial music score as a viable, accessible, and varied market for the emerging composer. The class examines techniques for scoring to picture and for understanding and meeting the communication needs of a client in a work-for-hire environment. It also attempts to deepen an appreciation of, and skill at, tapping the sensory, emotional, and cultural power of music in the marketing and communication world. This course highlights the advantages of scoring commercials, from the opportunity to refine skills in all styles of music to the challenge of meeting deadlines with original compositions created to satisfy the aesthetic needs and inclinations of a third party, all within the limited timeframe of the 30 or 60 second commercial. This course will further review the business aspect of scoring music for TV and radio. Bids, demos, agency contracts, SAG, AFTRA, and AFofM residuals and publishing will all be addressed. 2 CREDITS PREREQUISITES: 32-2221 SONGWRITING, 32-3211 COMPOSITION III
