DESCRIPTION:Is it possible to teach composition? What should one do amidst 
 the plethora of easily accessible music genres and styles\, and how can we 
 approach various means of accessing them? What does a composition professor
  do? What are graduate composers doing and feeling throughout the learning 
 process? \n\nThese questions are complex and there are many answers to them
 . The question of how to teach ways of coming up with creative pieces of wo
 rk has been important to humanity for a long time. Even though we do not ha
 ve specific or definite answers\, we do have numerous experiences across th
 e world and throughout history of music. One thing we are sure about: all c
 ultures have developed ways to teach their traditions and innovations. Thus
 \, a possible way of thinking about the teaching of musical composition is 
 to conceive it as a collective activity\, beyond the direct relationship be
 tween teachers and students. \n\nWith this in mind\, maybe the best questio
 n is: which contexts have taught you to compose? In order to understand the
 se contexts\, this presentation will address selected compositional learnin
 g experiences. Some perspectives about teaching and composition using Fred 
 Lerdhal’s\, Geraint A. Wiggins’\, and Paulo Lima’s works will be discussed.
 In addition to those pieces\, we will be using Vinícius Amaro’s\, Liduino P
 itombeira’s\, and Rafael Felício’s works to demonstrate relationships betwe
 en learning composition and the act of composing.\n\nBio\n\nEric Barreto is

 sition\, culture\, creativity\, and educational curriculua. He is currently
