Cascadia Composers Member Resources
Fostering a rich collaboration with local musicians, members share the benefit of being part of a regional community of composers who share common goals and aspirations. Cascadia Composers offers its members educational enrichment and presentation opportunities through monthly meetings.
Free and open to the public!
Social Time: ~7:15PM PST / Presentation begins: 7:30PM PST
Presenter: Dawn L. Sonntag, D.M.A
Topic: Composition Pedagogy
In this presentation on composition pedagogy, composer Dawn Sonntag will share her experiences studying and teaching composition from both the perspective of a student and of a college and private studio instructor. Rather than a "how to" session, this presentation is meant to inspire discussion about the balance of objective knowledge and intuition required for composing and how we can motivate both students and ourselves to grow as composers. Attendees are invited to share their own experiences and insights.
