Course Information

Description

In this course, students will be engaged with different modalities of creation through composing, listening, and discussing. At times students will become storytellers in sound, at other times, they will try to create meaningful musical phrases by using one tone only. The class offers space for experimentation and provides ways of discoveries and out-of-the-box thinking as one works with sound and sonic ideas. Students will work within their aesthetic preferences while also being challenged to grow by going beyond their comfort zone and imagining new possibilities. The final project will be a class concert.
