Summary
The one or two-year Guildhall Artist Masters programme in Composition is offered in two parts: Part One (MMus) is available in full-time (one year) or part-time (two years) modes. Part Two (MComp) One year full-time Progression to Part Two is conditional on results from Part One.
(Part Two (MPerf) is available in one full-time year only. Students who are enrolled on the Extended Guildhall Artist programme will need to pass an introductory year before progressing to Part One)).
Guildhall School offers some of the most stimulating and creative training for composers in the UK. Studying composition at Guildhall Artist Masters level prepares you for professional life as a composer. It allows you to explore and refine your individual artistic voice within the atmosphere of a busy, modern conservatoire, while also giving you space for self-reflection. The programme is primarily practical and project-based, but you will also be supported by weekly analytical and theoretical seminars. All students are expected to meet a series of deadlines as the year progresses – essential preparation for a professional career.
During Part 1 (MMus), students produce a portfolio of compositions supported by a written commentary on the year’s work. These core projects include extensive workshopping opportunities and performances. While compositional activity will take up most of your study time, you can also take classes in electronic music and writing for film and television which can be further pursued via the diverse range of elective modules available.
Exceptional students on Part One will be given the opportunity to continue their studies into Part Two. During the year, you will independently undertake a portfolio of three substantial compositional projects alongside your one-to-one tuition, strengthening your artistic and professional development.
