Neal Charnoff (reprinted from VPR)

Music composition is alive and well in Vermont schools, thanks to an online mentoring program.

Music-COMP is a non-profit service which brings together music teachers and professional mentors to insure that composition is a part of music class curricula.

Concerts are held several times a year which feature student compositions performed by professional musicians.

Music-COMP’s executive director, Sandi MacLeod, speaks with VPR’s Neal Charnoff about the program. The interview includes a clip from “Summer Fanfare”, a piece composed by Ethan Foster and Robin McOwen, sixth graders last year at the Grammar School in Putney. The performers are trumpeter Jason Whitcomb and trombonist Wesley Hopper.
