It has only been about a month or so that I have been studying the system, and I can honestly say I am now a better and far more confident composer. I have been a student of music for at least forty five years and it is mind boggling that this system has had so much contempt prior to investigation. After just a short time with this gift, you will begin to hear Schillinger concepts in many time tested compositions.” Frank Bozak
The Schillinger System of Musical Composition has given me a new way of seeing and understanding music. It’s a detailed, meticulous and complete system that gives a lot of tools (solutions) to face the mental blockings when writing a musical piece. The integral and scientific way of approaching music gives clarity and calmness, besides, the support and mentoring that is provided during the course makes you feel assertive and stimulated for continuous learning and composing. Rodrigo Herrera - Chile After a very short acclimation period however, I realized working with the Schillinger Society lets you get very, very interesting results without studying for ages! I was floored by how quickly I was able to work with rhythms in interesting time signatures as a result of just scratching the surface of this system. That phrase is overused in my opinion, but I use it here without question that it is appropriate. I've intended to expand my options as far as being able to come of with rhythms in less common time signatures. – Balie Todd
“For years I have painstakingly developed my rhythm vocabulary by emulating and deciphering music from different cultures. By a lucky series of circumstances, I had the pleasure of discussing the Schillinger Society courses with Philip and Teresa DiTullio during their visit to Montreal and signed up for the Rhythm Engineering Course the following week. The following months saw my knowledge of rhythm families literally explode, influencing my work in ways I could not imagine, juggling with counterpoint and poly-rhythms as I never had before. This course has opened my mind and my ears to compositional capabilities I could only barely imagine. It has helped me get fleeting ideas down on paper with speed, as I now have a hands-on knowledge of how rhythms are related and interact between the different sound generators. Schillinger had the genius to teach music through the interaction and permutation of two fundamental denominators: pulse and pitch. I have always believed that any theory worth its salt should open doors onto new possibilities. Schillinger kicks the doors open and points to do so.” ensembles, |
