In addition to the chance of hearing your music come to life, spnm can offer you, the composer, a menu of activity which is designed to assist you on the road to success. Each year composers from all over the UK of any age are invited to submit pieces to the spnm reading panel. This year shortlisted composers can elect to take advantage of the training activity which is offered over and above the chance of performance. The ever-widening field of arts education provides a plethora of ideal opportunities for composers of all genres and styles. All scores will continue to be read anonymously but if you elect for some added value you will be asked for more information about yourself and your work. In this way we can assemble a list of pieces as well as a list of people!
