This summer, we’re launching three dynamic programs designed for students ages 12 to 18 each with a 5-day and a 7-day option. These programs are available both online and in-person, offering flexibility to suit your needs.


These intensive programs combine scoring, mockup techniques, music technology, and orchestration, along with a selection of electives to expand your learning. In addition to the standard programs, each program features a PLUS+ version, which takes the educational and creative experience to the next level.


Further student support options include:

  • Accommodation at our Halls of Residence, with 24/7 student supervision.

  • Airport transfers to ensure your safe arrival and departure.

  • Breakfast and lunch provided throughout your stay.

PLUS+ options

  • A Pre-Program BootCamp to get your music ready for performance.

  • Guest speakers and masterclasses from industry professionals.

  • Flamenco and Paella events to immerse you in local culture.

  • Award-winning composers teaching you in person.

  • Orchestral and ensemble recordings of your compositions.

  • A Gala Concert where your music will be performed in a 400-seat theatre, live-streamed for friends and family to enjoy.


For individual schools or school groups, we offer the opportunity to request specific classes or even create an entire genre-based program, such as video game scoring, tailored to your student needs. Expect 7 hours of teaching per day, providing a comprehensive and immersive experience.


Our Programs:

Foundation Program

Perfect for young composers who are just starting their journey, this entry-level program introduces the fundamentals of scoring and composition for multimedia. The PLUS+ program include a recording.
