The composition studio at WMU provides students with the necessary skills to succeed as creative musicians. We focus on helping students discover their own creative voice and develop the skills to realize their artistic vision. We provide training in composition for acoustic instruments and digital media. We foster an open environment that embraces aesthetic diversity, individual growth, and community.
