Launch of ‘Creative Composition for the Classroom’ - a new book by James MacMillan and Jennifer Martin
Streamed event available from Friday 1 October, 3.30pm
Trinity College London has commissioned a new book for music teachers and young composers from James MacMillan, Artistic Director and Jennifer Martin, Chief Executive of The Cumnock Tryst to illustrate the compositional process and to support those teaching and learning composition in the upper years of secondary school. This book incorporates much of the teaching processes used in the Tryst’s composition projects for schools and will be launched at this fascinating event. The two authors will discuss the project with Stuart Pearce, Director, UK & Ireland Markets at Trinity College London and Gillian Moore, Director of Music and Performing Arts for Southbank Centre.
The book will be supported by a series of UK and international online and local seminars and Q&A sessions as well as an archive of footage and materials designed to support and bring to life the processes explored in the book.

“At a time when those who make music face so many challenges, we are very glad to be able to continue our plans to create a centre of excellence in the teaching and learning of composition, and to support these aspirations with this brand new book. Working with Trinity College London we can make the resources we will develop available to a wide network of music and education establishments around the world to support the creation of new music everywhere”
