MUSIC 101: Introduction to Creating Electronic Sounds

Introduction to Creating Electronic Sounds enables students from a wide variety of backgrounds to cultivate conceptual and technical skills within the production of electronic sound and music composition. Lectures, readings, and group discussions will examine the evolution of recording technology as it relates to music within historical, social, and contemporary contexts. Over the course of ten weeks students will develop and produce a portfolio of creative projects, wherein the integration of one's life experiences, imagination, and musical preferences are encouraged. In addition to regular coursework, students who enroll in the class for 4 units will create and publish a 12 to 20-minute EP according to their own musical taste and technical abilities. Please note: This is not a production class with an in-depth technical focus during class time, however technical support is offered outside of regular class time. This course is a prerequisite for MUSIC 192A: Foundations of Sound Recording Technology. No previous experience required. Enrollment by application only. Permission numbers will be distributed during the first week of classes.

MUSIC 105: Creative Music Technology Practice

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.

MUSIC 120D: Jazz Improvisation

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. By enrolling in this course you are giving consent for the video and audio recording and distribution of your image and performance for use by any entity at Stanford University.

MUSIC 120E: Advanced Jazz Improvisation

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).

MUSIC 123I: Undergraduate Seminar in Composition: Music, Art, and Intermedia (ARTSTUDI 123I)

How do music and art relate? How does one speak for, with, the other? In the past century, Western visual art turned towards abstraction and time-based works. Techniques and processes for interaction between image and sound expanded dramatically. What better place to learn about them than the Anderson Collection? Through students' own visual and aural creations, we will explore and share individual approaches to time, symbol, memory, and meaning. Previous experience in music composition is welcome but not required. This course must be taken for a minimum of 3 units and a letter grade to be eligible for Ways-AII credit.
