MUS 30.01 Composition Seminar

This course is for students seeking to pursue compositional studies of any genre, style, or type of music at any level (basic, intermediate, or advanced levels). Students will engage in extended creative projects as they receive intensive private instruction and participate in composition seminars. Projects may be undertaken in any musical domain that suits the student’s creative interest, including but not limited to: acoustic, avant-garde, culturally-grounded, experimental, folk, inter- or multi-media, jazz, popular, rock, and traditional. In-class analysis exercises will emphasize 20th and 21st century composers of the Western classical traditions. Additional work will include analysis of literature pertinent to the current session, and writing short compositions and essays on the aesthetic, creative, and technical issues at hand.
