Form is how a piece holds together over time, and it is the part of composition you cannot fake. This course is about how the shape of a piece drives its motives, its durations, and the choices you make while writing.

It is for composers, performers, and students who want to understand the structures underneath music. You analyze real pieces, and you write in each form as you go.

It builds on the audiation work and sits downstream of the ear training. Come to it once the hearing is working, and analysis stops being paperwork and becomes something you can use.
