This course engages students with a practice-based dive into the creative applications of music technology towards music-making. It tasks students with investigating the answers to questions like: what unique affordances does music technology provide us to create new and novel musical experiences? How do we leverage music technology towards live performance, recording, installations, and potentially beyond? What are the pitfalls or difficulties of making music with technology? Taught with an actively collaborative and hands-on approach, students will complete creative assignments throughout the quarter that build towards an open-ended individual or small-group based creative project. Please note: Some basic coding experience is helpful, but not required.

Through analysis and technical exercises that involve click tracks, spotting, scoring under dialogue and picture, and the creative use of overlap cues, among others, students will learn how to develop and synchronize an engaging music score that supports visual events. Prerequisite: The students will be expected to: Know how to read and write music; Know how to create scores using a music editor such as Finale, Sibelius, among others; Be familiar with MIDI sequencing; and, Be familiar with DAW such as Logic Pro X, Pro Tools, among others.

Students compose weekly exercises to improve creative fluency and develop basic control of instruments. Audio examples of diverse compositional techniques are introduced, analyzed and emulated. Prerequisite: Music 19A or Instructor's permission.

This class will focus on developing a deeper understanding of, and capacity for, jazz improvisation -- as it relates to individual expression as well as group interaction, communication, and cohesion. In-class soloing and ensemble playing; guided listening; ear training; internalization; personalization; and an awareness of the historical evolution of the jazz improvisational language will all be emphasized. The coursework will be primarily based on actual instrumental performance and practice; with an extensive listening list; and possibly some complementary composition, transcribing, self-evaluation; reading and writing assignments. Limited enrollment: Audition required. Students auditioning for Music 120D may submit the same audition material for consideration for Music 120E and vice-versa, but they are asked to make clear that they are applying for both (or, alternatively, for just one of the two, and if so, which one.) This class will be closed to enrollment, so students wishing to enroll must join the Axess waiting list. You will then be contacted with audition instructions.

This class will focus on broadening the participants' fluency with established improvisational languages, encouraging them to trust and develop their own unique improvisational voices, and deepening their capacities for integrating those individual voices into a collaborative musical framework -- working and playing together as a group, forging a collective identity, finding a band sound. In-class soloing and ensemble playing; guided listening; ear training; internalization; personalization; transcription, composition and arranging will all be emphasized. The coursework will be primarily based on actual instrumental performance and practice; with an extensive list of tracks to listen to and tunes to learn. The class will spend ample time focusing on the repertoire from the jazz "canon" (works by jazz masters such Ellington, Monk, Parker, Shorter, Mingus, Coltrane, Coleman, etc, as well as "standards" from the American popular songbook). Participants will be encouraged to submit for consideration by the group their own ideas for material, including, but not limited to, their own original compositions or arrangements. Limited enrollment: Audition required. Students auditioning for Music 120E may submit the same audition material for consideration for Music 120D and vice-versa, but they are asked to make clear that they are applying for both (or, alternatively, for just one of the two, and if so, which one.) All who are interested are strongly encouraged to apply, with the understanding that some priority may be given to those who have already completed Music 120D.
