SON 120 - Fundamentals of Digital Music

This course will teach students the basics of music, and how to create music on the computer. Topics include rhythm, phrasing, harmony, melody and song construction. This is an exciting opportunity, given the virtually unlimited power of todays Digital Audio Workstations. Music can be assembled from pre-composed elements, played live into the computer, written as notes on an electronic score, or keyed in using a midi piano keyboard. Students will use these digital tools to capture their ideas or inspiration and turn them into music. Several projects will be required, in various styles, for a number of different purposes.
