in the Classroom - partnerships with schools

Go Compose North America has partnered with Calvert School in Baltimore, MD, for three consecutive years, offering composition workshops to middle school students aged 10-12 during their “mini week” enrichment program. The first two years (2021 and 2022) of workshops were conducted online, adapting to the need for remote learning. In 2023, we held our first in-person workshop at Calvert School, marking a significant step forward in direct engagement and hands-on learning. In January 2025, we expanded our in the Classroom offerings to Johns Hopkins University. Leading a week-long course for college students.

Looking ahead, we are pleased to extend the option of both online and in person workshops to schools nationwide, aiming to make composition education accessible to a broader audience of young students.

Partnership with Calvert School

Over three consecutive years, Go Compose North America partnered with Calvert School in Baltimore, MD, to deliver composition workshops during the school's "mini week" enrichment program. These workshops transitioned from online formats in the first two years to an in-person session in the third year, providing students with new ideas about what a composer is and does and allowing them to work with professional musicians to create and hear their own compositions in a matter of hours.

Overlea High School

Go Compose North America has partnered with Baltimore Choral Arts Society's CoroLab project, leading Overalea High School students in a workshop to create a Maryland-themed winter song. "My Mary-land" was premiered live at the 2025 Baltimore Choral Arts Society's Christmas With Choral Arts at the Baltimore Basilica, and was broadcast several times on WYPR radio. This new composition will live on in a special Maryland book project curated by Baltimore Choral Arts.

Johns Hopkins University - Go Compose: Your Music Your Way

Go Compose North America held it's first college course for students at Johns Hopkins University. This course offered a supportive environment for students of all skill levels to experiment and compose in a way that works for them. Students learned new composition techniques, explored different styles, and worked with professional composers and performers to bring their ideas to life. Students created original compositions that were then present in recital for the class and friends.
