<p>My son attending the MPulse program at UofMich one summer in their MPAT program. It was a great chance to learn more about programs and equipment used to create and record music and while not strictly a composition program, it did involve a fair amount of composing both as an individual and in a group. One of the teachers was a student in their doctoral comp program. It was a great chance to experience the school (and utilize their amazing facilities) and would be suitable for young composers looking to gain more experience, especially in electronic music.</p>
<p>Last summer, he attended the high school composition intensive at Boston Conservatory, and it was an amazing experience. Defiantly more advanced, they work at a fast and furious pace. In two weeks, they wrote and workshopped 4 pieces which were all performed and recorded by professional ensembles. The recordings were excellent and gave him a wonderful base for his portfolio for college apps, a perfect program for a rising senior. There were only 6 or 7 students, so they got a lot of one on one time with the faculty.</p>
