Music Lab: 2 – Spontaneous Composing for all instruments is a course for advanced players of music who are interested in composing by improvising spontaneously. It’s anticipated that students in this course have a command of their instrument(s) allowing them to access a range of sound, color, techniques, and abilities that can advance the music. Through weekly guided improvisations students will learn to build sonic structures, improvise musical dialogues, deconstruct and reconstruct sheets of sound while expanding their definitions of music composition, and learning how to trust the intuitive self by stepping into the sonic unknown.
Learning Outcomes:
Learning outcomes:
