-Naming 3 pieces of music you have been listening to recently and why you like them.
-Writing up to 250 words telling us why you want to take part in the Summer School. Remember to tell us about what experience you have of composing music (whether at school, independently, or with a composition teacher) and any musical activities you're involved in.
-Giving an example of your music, which you can upload to the application form. We need a score (a written down version of your music).There are some examples of different score formats below.
-You can also send us a recording of your piece if you have one, but this is not essential.
