The unit addresses the need experienced by many composers today to acquire or reinforce traditional aspects of advanced musicianship that formerly formed the basis of training and which are now often experienced as areas of insecurity. The precise content of the unit is designed to be adjustable to the perceived needs of the student, but will typically confront three of the following four categories: Late Tonal / non tonal / serial Harmony; 16th century Counterpoint; Contemporary Instrumentation; and Late Romantic Orchestration.
