Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Music Scoring and Composition

The BFA in Music Scoring & Composition is designed for those students who wish to focus on music composition and scoring for film, television, games and other visual media. Balancing musicianship training with production skills to reflect a changing music industry, students will learn music theory, composition, harmony, orchestration, and arranging, focusing on creating emotion through music in synchronization with visual media. Students will use the latest computer-based production workflows, digital audio workstations, and virtual instrument libraries. The focus is on composition using virtual instruments, resulting in a composer demo reel in the final year.
