If I wanted to take a course in music composition to create folk rock music in the vein of Steeleye Span, Fairport Convention and Pentangle (from the 1960s and '70s), and write this music 'riffing' with  the Scottish Country Dance sheet music PDFs we get every week to play from in Open Band (Berkeley), how could I best learn the techniques for this (apart from a kind of inspiration of the alternative culture of the '60s and '70s in their music)? There's much to riff with in the Scottish Country Dance sheet music we play each week.

And are there any free music composition programs existing now (e.g. such as the free MuseScore - https://musescore.org/en/whats-new-musescore-2-0 - which 2.0 version works on a MacBook laptop) which can import the PDFs we get every week for SCD (both printed and hand written) and then facilitate composing this music heading in the folk rock direction - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Folk_rock_music?

And in a similar way, if I wanted to take a course in composing Baroque music, then 'rock and roll  Baroque' music (e.g. Tull's Bourrée but in so many other possible directions too), how would I go about doing this? And how is teaching Baroque music composition taught at the graduate level? (I like Baroque music, and I think a lot of people do too:).

Jethro Tull's Bourrée is in a way a 'rock and roll Baroque' composition - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Rock_and_Roll - riffing with J.S. Bach's Baroque Bourrée ...  https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Johann_Sebastian_Bach ...

Am most interested however in starting with SCD sheet music PDFs, exploring composing, or re-writing them, for Scottish small pipes (in keys, and 9-note range of the GHB chanter, but on a chanter in A myxolydian, with natural 7th - low G through high A), and then exploring further composition into folk rock, - or ensemble SCD Open Band parts' playing explorations.

I think the way I'll begin in a DIY vein is to transcribe into MuseScore some Scottish Country Dance PDFs that work on the Scottish small pipes, and begin to play with them. I'd add one  called "Mrs. Garden of Troup" in D major (a good key for the Scottish small pipes' chanter in A ) in a MuseScore File Format (called 'Pink Strathspeys Mrs. Garden D major') but this file format won't display here.

Biological organisation: Do you recall if Steeleye Span sang Boar's Head Carol as the opening band to Jethro Tull, If WUaS/friends had the realistic virtual earth up and running (in Google Streetview plus, with even just the ability to add video, beyond the photos you can add now - visit the Harbin Gate here https://twitter.com/HarbinBook to see the photo of the Harbin Gate I added fairly recently but from 2001), and this concert was filmed and public - like many many Grateful Dead concerts, we'd be able to check up on whether or not Steeleye Span sang this - and hear the Boar's Head Carol, Now how best to add both of these versions of this 1970 Stanford University "Protein synthesis: an epic on the cellular level" to a realistic virtual earth?, "More than 70% of researchers have tried and failed to reproduce another scientist's experiments," "1,500 scientists lift the lid on reproducibility Survey sheds light on the ‘crisis’ rocking research" - Nature.com, Let's code the realistic virtual earth for reproducibility of scientific experiments (in addition to at the atomic and cellular levels, and with mathematical formulas, and for evolutionary biological research), And could this Stanford Bio-X executive committee help with the realization of a STEM and medical realistic virtual earth for research https://biox.stanford.edu/person-group/executive-committee ?

Planets: Wow ... you heard Steeleye Span and Jethro Tull!, Great folk rock music from the 60s/70s, lucky these days to be able to be picky (e.g. with Pandora and Spotify) about what great music we can listen to by both those groups, Ode as poetry form, read Wordsmith and Keats since they are most likely to 'rock' for me?, How to bring a folk rock 'program' (computer programming metaphor) in contemporary Internetity (Information Age) parlance to Scottish Country Dance sheet music?, What's the "Hair: the Tribal Love Rock Musical" musical program?, Sheet music section here at the wiki Music School at WUaS, Friends, SFFM, WUaS as a kind of ministry even?, Heading for releasing meditation, Friend Edward Planetflight, Folk rock music and Programming wiki subjects at WUaS
