DAVID BRUCE COMPOSER WORKSHOPS - UK MARCH 2025
(please note revised deadline below)
I am offering a free intensive 1 day workshop to UK based composers aged 18+
I’ll be accepting five composers to join me in a day of feedback and discussion. We’ll spend about an hour with each composer, and have a more general Q&A discussion at the end.
Applicants are welcomed from any style, background and level. I’ll be selecting composers who I think will benefit most from the experience as well as compositions where there is something to discuss that might benefit others as well. The only requirement is that you’re seriously committed to composing. Applications are not restricted to notated music, but please be aware that notated music will be the primary focus.
The class will be held in London March 31st 2025. Transport costs for those living outside London from the UK will be provided, as well as lunch.
The day will probably be filmed and some parts may be released privately on patreon or brief clips on social media. No wider film publication will occur without your consent.
Please provide ONE score you wish to submit, ideally with recording, which can be computer/midi playback. The score can be anything, instrumental, vocal, large or small. For the sake of focussing discussion, if you’re submitting a longer work please suggest a section that’s 15 mins max.
In your cover email please also describe where you are in your composing journey, and why you think you deserve a spot.
Applications by FEB 15th to davidbrucescores@gmail.com
(for international composers, we’ll see how this one goes first, hopefully there will be more workshops in future in other countries)

The other day someone asked me which video of mine I was most proud of. I think it might be this one Insanely brilliant and unexpected compositions, off the chart performances by Ben and the band and above all, just so much fun. (PS all being well, new video coming out on Friday🤞)

This week I'll be filming a new project, where myself and another composer are introduced to an usual instrument we don't really know and have never written for - and then we both have to quickly write a piece for it. We're thinking of a ludicrously short composing time, like 5 mins, just to make it quick and fun, so a sort of 5 minute Composer Challenge. The main point is just to have a fun introduction to an instrument and see some of its creative potential. If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions for approaches to how we do this that would make for a better video I'd love to hear them!
