Workshops

In addition to private lessons, Joel leads group events and discussions centered around helping people listen to and talk about music more effectively.

In his capacity as a composer for media, Joel has guest-lectured to film/production students on subjects ranging from film-scoring to strategies for communicating with a composer.

As an ensemble composer and instrumentalist he has led workshops and discussions at various universities and community production spaces centered around how to effectively listen to and talk about music.

Workshop/lecture attendees have included:

• Filmmakers struggling to communicate with composers
• Producers and project managers looking to better explain or justify music choices to their clients
• Overwhelmed podcasters who find themselves sifting through thousands of library tracks in an attempt to score their latest episode
• Film students who are new to combining music with visual media
• Non-production-world music-enthusiasts looking to improve their listening skills

Workshop content and length can be tailored to any audience or occasion.
