Composing for Film at the Conservatorium of Music Sydney
As part of this term’s unit, Music for Radio, Television, Film and Multimedia, students are exploring the art of composing music for film. To begin building their composition portfolios, they participated in a film scoring workshop at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. The session was led by acclaimed Australian composer Emma Greenhill, whose screen credits include Home & Away, The Voice, MasterChef, and numerous television advertisements. Following the workshop, students enjoyed a guided tour of the campus, offering them a glimpse into the wide range of courses available at the Conservatorium.
