MFA in Music Composition for the Screen

    Develop your musical ear with the help of a teacher with an MFA and BM in music theory and composition.

    In my undergraduate degree, I took 6 levels of ear training, and 8 levels of music theory. I feel as though I could do it in my sleep! I have materials for practice and college level experience with ear training. I think ear training is important for any sort of musician- Classical, hobbyist, you name it!

    About Connor C.

    4.9
    (31)
    I'm a film composer by trade, but I love teaching as well. I love sharing my passion for music with others. I have a BM from Appalachian State University in piano performance and music theory/composition. I also have an MFA in music composition for the screen from Columbia College Chicago. I studied abroad in Ireland for a summer and learned traditional Irish music. I've been playing piano and composing since I was a young child, and picked up folk instruments along the way. Folk music has been a constant source of joy in my life, and I am continually learning more about it. Music is what gets me out of bed in the morning!

    Connor is wonderful! She is teaching our 10-year-old daughter, who is thrilled with the lessons. Connor is warm, personable, patient, and supportive with her. Connor leaves great notes after every lesson with updates on what to practice in between. We couldn’t have hoped for more!
