Course Introduction
Welcome to the RIAM composition school. The RIAM is an active and encouraging environment for composers who wish to extend their creative horizons and to have the opportunity to work with some of the finest performing talent in Ireland. Our training aims to lay a thorough technical foundation from which composers can build their own approaches and find their own voices.
We place a particular emphasis on acquiring technological proficiency, an essential for every composer in today’s world. Our state-of the-art computer studio and internationally renowned staff share not only their technical expertise but exciting creative approaches to using technology.
The composition department hosts regular seminars with leading guest composers, widening the creative discussion far beyond the RIAM. With our new performance spaces and facilities located in the heart of Dublin, we believe that exciting new horizons are opening for RIAM composition studies.
