Course Description
This course will increase students' musical awareness through technology-based experiences. Students will develop musicianship in a 21st century environment by completing projects utilizing critical response, reading and notation, improvisation, composition, recording and mixing, as well as some singing and instrumental performance (if applicable). Students do not need to play an instrument or sing to take this course. Students will learn an overview of the fundamentals of music technology including, but not limited to: basic sequencing software/transport controls; looping; volume/pan automation; understanding visual representations of sound, trimming audio clips, recognizing attack, sustain, decay & release visually; understanding the timeline, integrating melodic and rhythmic elements, master track usage, MIDI note input methods; keyboard controller usage, changing any genre of music into a “dance” remix; creating temp-sensitive samples; making roll effects; making pitch adjustments as an effect; music production techniques; and microphones and sound systems. Students will compile all learned skills into one final creative project.
