H14.1031 Studio 2 - 4 Credits
Instructor(s): Teirstein
Prerequisite: permission of the instructor. Open only to students in the Department of Dance. Departmental elective for B.F.A. and M.F.A. students.
Students will acquire skills in musicianship, score reading and the elements of music composition. This is a creative workshop for beginners as well as those with previous musical experience. The class will be oriented around a series of projects, resulting in a CD and presentation at the year’s end. We will also study techniques in digital audio and MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface). Music composition has undergone rapid changes with the advent of digital audio technology. However, the basic elements remain the same: the placement of audio material in an aesthetic, temporal landscape.
