Music 136 - Adventures in Music

'Designed for students with or without prior musical experience, 'Adventures in Music' explores the materials of music. Through reading, hands on interaction with instruments and their players, discussions and recordings, students will explore concepts of pitch, time, space, structure and timbre, thereby enriching their perception of the world of sound. The best way to access the indescribable in music is often to make music. With this in mind the class will embark in mini composition projects culminating in a final project that utilizes the knowledge acquired over the duration of the course.'
