What We Do in the Wizarding School for Composers

What Our Alumni Are Saying

  • “I learned a ton from coaching with Dr. Sowa that I did not pick up in college.”

    Karalyn Schubring, BM in composition from Michigan, pianist and improviser

  • “The course was customized for each individual, so we were able to take the tasks and tools we were learning and apply them to our music. . . . I feel like I have more knowledge, critiquing skills, and tools that will help bring my music to the next level.”

    Heather Enke, Composer, pianist

  • "The value of the Wizarding School is flabbergasting — so much material. Even after the course ends, it will take a long time to go through it all."

    Jessica Margolin, composer

  • "If you feel like there is anything at all that is keeping you from writing the music you want to write, inquire about the Wizarding School for Composers. This program will be of great benefit to you."

    Ken Applegate, composer

  • Joining the Wizarding School will add you to a growing community that will fully support your musical journey, no matter where you are on that path!"

    Stephanie Plautz, composer, euphonium

  • “Before I took the Wizarding School course, my compositional process relied only on a combination of intuition and jazz theory. I now feel like I have an approach that removes the anxiety from the process and allows me to be my most creative self.”

    David Ashton, DMA in clarinet performance from Rutgers, NYC-based multi-woodwind performer, improviser, and composer

  • “I always sensed that I had the ability to be a composer and to make beautiful music, but felt that I didn't have the tools to make that happen. Because of the Wizarding School, those dreams of composing became possibilities.”

    Seth Castleton, DMA in cello performance from the University of Maryland
