This course will serve as a workshop and forum for senior music students who are planning to present their senior projects in Spring 2024. In this course, we will meet and discuss students’ projects produced through any creative practice, including, but not limited to, performance, installation, musical show, and publication. Students will be expected to complete most of their composition/installation designs by the end of the first half of the term. The emphasis will be on technical planning, realization of the individual projects, and guiding students in the development of their presentations, which may involve interdisciplinary collaborations, rehearsals, and technical needs. Group critiques and discussions are a crucial part of this process. As part of this course, each student will be required to pick an advisor from appropriate music faculty to advise their particular project. We will meet once a week with scheduled individual meetings throughout the term when necessary.
