The Young Choregraphers & Composer Project  is an 8 week collaborative program between the LA Inception Orchestra and Young Composers Project. We cater to all levels, Ages 8-18.  Our curriculum is designed to bring students face-to-face with industry professionals and to teach the collaborative nature of the composition and choreography process.  Students will work with mentors from both organizations.
Students are required to attend weekly group sessions (3 hours) every week and private lessons (1 hr) at least every other week. Saturday sessions for the Inception composers and Sunday sessions for the Young Choreographers Project.  Students may additionally attend the partner's organization's classes. Weekly private sessions are available to those students who have progressed in their composition or choreography homework. Students must attend weekend sessions to qualify for private mentoring. (Missing more than three [including on-line] dates can be ground for dismissal from the program) Dates and times subject to change. Pre-arranged absences for music performances will not count against the missing dates.  
Students who will miss weekend sessions must inform leadership 24 hours in advance of absence.
Students who must miss a weekend session will review the video of the session (usually available by Monday) and pass a quiz on the session.
Students will complete class assignments and be ready for each group and private session. Private mentors reserve the right to end sessions early if homework has not been completed.
Online mentoring will be scheduled between my mentor and myself, but if I miss a scheduled mentoring session, it will count as an absence and will not be rescheduled unless the mentor agrees to make it up.
Students and/or parents have 24 hours from the scheduling notification to respond (doodle poll or email confirmation) or the lesson will be cancelled for the week.
Student must cancel private mentoring sessions at least 24 hours in advance or incur a $100 fee. The only exceptions are illness and schoolwork. It is at the mentor's discretion to reschedule this.
I understand that if a mentor has to reschedule an online session, he/she will make up the session with me at a mutually convenient time or a substitute mentor will be arranged.
COST OF PROGRAM. There is a charge of $50/student for summer programming. Tuition is due at the beginning of the session. Tuition is charged on a sliding scale (with financial assistance or scholarship).
Those students/parents requesting financial assistance/scholarships will be asked to donate service hours to Inception and/or YCP to help with operations.
All students will be asked to give back to the organization via peer mentoring, marketing, podcasting or by being ambassadors for the program.
Students will be performing alongside classmates and mentors live in concert and in class. Participation is mandatory both on original compositions and also fellow classmates’ pieces if written for.
