21M.065 Introduction to Musical Composition
(
)
Prereq: None
Units: 3-0-9
Lecture: TR11-12.30 (4-364)
Project-oriented class, beginning with a series of guided micro-compositions and culminating in a final composition which is rehearsed, workshopped, and performed. Assignments focus on specific musical parameters (melody and mode, rhythm and meter, form and structure), composing for film and video games, creating beats and grooves, and using microphones and digital audio workstations to create sound sculptures. Listening and discussion assignments present music from a wide range of genres and styles. Students create several complete pieces, sharpen their notation and musicianship skills, and learn the basics of sequencing, recording, and audio editing. Familiarity with western music notation is strongly encouraged; previous compositional and/or arranging experience is welcome but not required. Enrollment limited.
