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) 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 Baroque rock and roll 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?Jethro Tull's Bourrée is in a way a Baroque rock and roll 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 ...

How would one even create such an online course, either at World University and School, - or in the context of edX, HarvardX, MITx?*

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.
