Electronic Music Composition
Electronic Music CompositionComposing and creating music using a USB equipped keyboard connected to a computer is a great way for students to develop musical judgment and to learn the possibilities of structure and form in music. Computer software such as Garage Band, Logic Pro and the notation software Sibelius can used as tools to develop the ear through ear training software, music transcription skills, rythmic background tracks for improvisation, music theory and the reading, writing and printing of music notation. By having students learn to do much more than just clicking and dragging loops to form a prefabricated song, students are taught the fundamentals of melody and motivic development, harmony and song structure in order to be able to compose, arrange and produce their own music. For students interested in learning the techonical aspects of recording, we also also offer instruction in the basics of engineering, mixing, editing and sound design. Classes are taught by Isaac Raz. |
