Each year, students are expected to organize at least one performance of an original work (completed in their studies) in a general/studio recital or another appropriate venue or medium, such as a film score, incidental music, a dance collaboration or an electronic music installation.
Attendance at regularly schedule composition seminars is expected of all students enrolled in private composition study; failure to attends will be reflected in the grade given for composition.
