Joanna and Donald lead a workshop at the Denver SIlent Film Festival to create a score for THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI

Joanna, Donald and friends lead popular silent film music workshops and master classes for music and film students of all ages. In sessions lasting from an hour to several days, participants get hands-on experience creating music for a variety of silent film scenes. We explore different genres, techniques for improvising, analyzing the structure and mood of each scene. Contact us for information on bringing a workshop to your organization.
