Overview of class
Empirical methods in music research have been used to study aspects of musical style, performance practice, authorship, musical behaviors and auditory perception, among other topics. This course provides a foundation and overview of empirical methods used in musicological and music-theoretic research, and equips students with the tools needed to critically engage with the literature in the field while designing their own empirically-based music research.
Learning Objectives
By the end of the class, students will be able to critically evaluate empirical methodologies and study designs while also applying such methods and designs to their own research questions.
