This is a unique position in that it requires great skill and recording orchestra etiquette. It is strictly a sight-reading position with opportunity to work directly with film scoring faculty. The idea behind the program is to offer students who may be interested in working as professional orchestral session musicians experience in sight-reading, playing to a click / following a conductor, all while working to perfect their performances. Students will receive no future revenue from the recorded materials (royalties) and the hourly rate is $20 / hr.
The scoring session program provides a very important role in what the screen scoring majors get out of their major. The students get the experience of conducting, recording their own music, and editing the live players into their final mix. The individuals who participate in this program are bringing life to the virtual instruments or often replacing them altogether.
