The heart of music for TV and film revolves around telling a story. We have found this focus can improve musicianship for standard repertoire as well as improvisation by catapulting practice and performance from “good technique” and “accurate representation” into truly soulful, inspiring music. Award winning TV/film composer Michael A. Levine and critically acclaimed composer/educator Julie Lyonn Lieberman will take you on a journey unlike anything you’ve ever experienced by providing new tools with which to create music.

This will be an extremely fun and enlightening experience!

Michael A. Levine (whose compositional credits are even too long to list on the website!) and I will use the art of composing for film as a tool to help players and composers hone their skills to move beyond physical and compositional techniques to the heart of music-making.
