MUSIC 3141
The Composer's Toolbox

Course information provided by the 2023-2024 Catalog.

The Composer's Toolbox is a course that equips undergraduates with the skills and techniques needed to compose and notate original works of music. There will be opportunities to learn how to develop and transform musical material, to gain an understanding of different compositional techniques and styles through existing repertoire, to enhance critical thinking and listening skills, to refine score notation and to work one-on-one with performers. With these new tools, students will work to develop a collection of miniatures as well as a short multi-movement work for 1-4 players throughout the semester. ­­All new pieces will be workshopped, performed and recorded.
