ARRANGING STUDIO
Overview
The Arranging Studio is an intensive arranging experience designed to give participants monthly goals to develop their arranging skills. Unlike other online courses offered by TCP, the studio is designed as one part instructional seminar and one part discussion forum. The studio meets twice every month with one session being a dedicated lecture with Toshi introducing a new technique and unpacking how to use it. Participants are then given a brief based around the technique which they have to complete and bring to the second session. Unlike the first session, in the second participants present their work to the class and explain the decisions they made. They then receive feedback from Toshi in real time and other participants are free to give constructive comments. All sessions are held online via Zoom.
The specific techniques are decided through survey on a monthly basis, with participants given multiple options they can choose from. That way, the studio adapts to those who are currently involved and can deliver the maximum amount of benefit to all participants.
