Teaching
Announcing the RICK BAITZ FILM SCORING WORKSHOP
This will be an intensive, hands-on course in composing for film and television, designed for the composer who has some film music experience and would like to know more about the field of film scoring, and for the songwriter and composer who would like to branch out into film. There will be seven classes in the Spring of 2010, taking place in Rick Baitz’s centrally-based studio in Manhattan. Film composing will be explored from multiple angles: historical, technical, psychological, cultural, kinesthetic. Students will compose cues to a variety of scenes, culminating with a final project that will be recorded with top-notch New York instrumentalists. Students will walk away from the workshop with greater confidence in their skills as film composers, a strong cue for their reel, an increased knowledge of the business of film music and a deeper understanding of the art of composing for the screen.
Qualifications: Experience and credits as a composer; ability to read music; some experience composing for film preferred.
