Soundtrack Sessions: Instrumental Workshop

Experience the excitement, focus and fast-paced energy of a professional recording studio environment.

Overview

Throughout the orchestra and band workshops, students will learn a repertoire of Disney music and hone fundamental skills including intonation, musical balance and tone quality. In addition to sight-reading practice and ensemble-training, they’ll learn how phrasing, dynamics and articulation can add emotion to any piece of music.

Disney music professionals will give music lessons and share insights about the high expectations of being a professional musician and how to succeed in this highly competitive field. Endorsed by the National Association for Music Education, the Disney Imagination Campus Soundtrack Sessions: Instrumental workshop is sure to hit all the right notes for your band or orchestra— culminating with a screening of their recorded work set to Disney film footage!
