Getting started

Guide

1. Book a class

No account needed. Go to "Book a class", pick your name from the list, choose who you want to meet, and pick an open time.

2. Check or cancel your bookings

"My bookings" shows everything you've booked and when — cancel anytime from there.

3. See the full schedule

"Full schedule" shows the whole course day by day. Click any "Individual lessons" row to jump straight to booking that session.

4. Meet composers & ensembles

Browse who's teaching and performing — their instruments, lecture dates, and locations — on "Composers & ensembles".

5. Submit your score

Upload your score (and any later revisions) from the "Submit score" link on your dashboard.

6. Presentations & recordings

Book your own slot for participants' presentations or sound effect recordings directly on that page — no separate booking step needed.

7. Stay updated

Announcements from the organizers appear on the home page. Allow notifications if your browser asks, so you don't miss anything.

8. Install this site as an app on your phone

Add it to your home screen for one-tap access, like a regular app — it works the same way, just faster to open.

Sign-up rules

How individual meeting sign-up works

Rule 1Sign-up deadline

Individual meeting sign-up ends the day before the meeting — sign-up closes at 00:00 the night before the scheduled class. This starts from 15 July; lessons on 14 July can still be booked through that day itself, since it's too soon after the course begins for the usual day-before cutoff to apply. Presentations and sound effect recording sessions have no such deadline — they can always be booked the same day.

Rule 2Arrive early

Be around the meeting location at least 5 minutes before your slot starts.

Rule 3Extra spots

There may be additional spots for meetings after class — it's up to the lecturer to decide if they're available, and they can open these themselves from their faculty portal.

Rule 4At least one lesson with everyone, guaranteed

Every participant is guaranteed at least one individual lesson with each composer and ensemble. Cancelling is always free and never counts against you — only a lesson you actually book uses up your slot.

Ensembles

Meeting an ensemble

You can meet with the whole ensemble, or with one specific musician on their own — just make sure to note that down when you book.

  • We recommend booking the whole ensemble whenever possible — a single time slot can be split between two participants, each meeting a different specific musician at the same time.
  • Your one guaranteed lesson applies to the ensemble as a whole, not to each musician individually.
  • Meeting with any one musician (or the whole ensemble) uses up your slot with that ensemble, the same as meeting a composer.
