enthused and with extensive information on the composition of music in genres such as jazz,
fusion, film, and wind and brass.
The workshop, held in Antigua from Monday, July 15, to Saturday, July 20, provided
participants with valuable experiences and skills that they are eager to apply in their future
musical endeavours.
