Collaborate, Customize, Create

As a nationwide community arts provider, Composers & Schools occupies a unique space in the performing arts and music education communities by linking professional composers and youth music ensembles to provide learning opportunities that align with the professional music-making industry.

Our music education programs are available nationwide and projects take place in-person, online, or a hybrid of the two.

Encouraging Creativity

We collaborate with youth music ensembles of all configurations–mixed ensemble, orchestra, wind band, chamber, choral, jazz, rock, hip-hop, and more–to create customized projects that fulfill each school’s unique curricular and artistic needs. Some of our past projects include scoring for film, games, and the concert stage. Contact us today and let’s create a custom project that will spark your student’s creativity!

Engaging Students in the Creative Process

“Our students are participating in the creation of a newly published work. I can’t think of a better way for students to be part of a “real world” experience.” — Brad Byrum, Director of Bands

“The process of meeting a composer and interacting and giving input for the commission was an invaluable experience for my students.” — Armand Hall, Director of Bands
