MUSC 221 The Principles of Music Creation 6 credits
This course focuses on both traditional notation-based approaches to composition (which involve collaboration with a performer) as well as the direct shaping of sounds in digital systems. Students will listen extensively, in many genres and traditions of music and sound, applying this critical listening to their own original work and that of their colleagues. Frequent composition assignments build fundamental skills in melodic creation and development, counterpoint, rhythmic evolution, synthesis, and production. The course culminates in a term project, a substantial original composition.
