International Hollywood Film Music Workshop – Online Zoom seminars with Nan Schwartz & Miriam Cutler
International Hollywood Film Music Workshop is adding two exclusive online Zoom events in June to their “Specialized Orchestration Series”.
Composing for Musical Theatre with NAN SCHWARTZ, June 4-6, 2021
As a Grammy winner, five-time Grammy nominee, and seven-time Emmy nominee, Nan Schwartz will cover how to compose for musical theatre in this three-day Zoom seminar.
Nan Schwartz is currently composing two musicals, both in development: In The Wash and The Grammarians. Students will get a sneak preview of the songs she’s written thus far. She will discuss how she became involved in these projects, her composing process, working with the show creator and lyricist, orchestrating and performing demos, recording vocals, and much more.
Making a special guest appearance will be the lyricist on both of Nan’s musicals, Lorraine Feather.
Course topics:
- Composing orchestral pieces and songs
- How story line informs the songs
- How to work with the lyricist
- What are the considerations when orchestrating song & score
- Important topics for the orchestration – orchestra by itself and orchestra in a song
