RCMA Lower Level 115: Tues, Thurs 11:00AM - 12:20PM

Overview of class

In this course, students will learn about possible materials in music and have chances to try out different compositional techniques to manipulate them. Through lectures, small exercises, group projects, and final projects, we will discuss various styles of music and types of notation. Students will also be given opportunities to meet with composers in different styles and mediums through several guest presentations. Previous experience or knowledge of music is not required; however, students are encouraged to have an open mindset and be ready to share their compositional process in class. The final project will involve expanding one or more earlier assignments into a larger piece.
