Initiated in 1998 by the Cork International Choral Festival and the Arts Officers of Cork Corporation and Cork County Council, Composers-in-the-Classroom is designed to offer music students and their teachers the opportunity to work, in their own classrooms, with professional composers throughout the school year. The scheme is designed to complement the general music studies curriculum at senior cycle and has proved of special interest to students taking the higher elective in composition in the new Leaving Certificate syllabus.

 

Students are required to listen to a wide range of music, analysing and discussing various elements. For the teacher, this residency provides an opportunity to work alongside a professional composer, discussing and developing approaches to creative composition in the classroom. The residency culminates in a seminar held as part of the Cork International Choral Festival. Compositions, created by the participating students are performed.
