Composition is an educational program that teaches students how to create and compose their own music. By studying composition, students may be able to generate and transcribe their own musical creations, orchestrate band and ensembles, and understand as well as appreciate important historical compositions.

Courses are offered in many ways that help meet the needs of a varied student population. From standard in-classroom study to summer classes and even online offerings, the opportunities to pursue higher education have never been easier.

Part-time learning allows one to obtain a degree or qualification even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at one's own pace, gradually accumulating credits that count towards a final qualification.
