Course Features

Course Highlights

This course features projects which are completed using the computer music authoring environment Impromptu.  An open-source version of Impromptu is available in the tools section of this site.

Course Description

The goal of this class is practical: to interrogate, make explicit, and thus to develop the powerful musical intuitions that are at work as you make sense of the music all around you. Reflecting, we will ask how this knowledge develops in ordinary and extraordinary ways.
