This course explores the basic materials and models that set the boundaries for various present-day musical experiences. Students are exposed to terminology and modes of engagement with the aim of inspiring new paradigms of listening (e.g., listening to silence, noise, space, and timbre). Composers and musicians of today continue to explore new ways of defining and organizing sounds into music. The course focuses on the most adventurous music of our time, but the concepts learned can be applied to any style of music. The course is designed to enrich and deepen the students' musical abilities through direct involvement with musical materials. Direct engagement through listening and participatory learning is accomplished in part with software created at the Center for New Music and Audio Technologies. The course does not require students to be able to read music nor to own a personal computer.

This course will provide students with a functional understanding of the fundamentals of healthy singing. Topics will include vocal technique (alignment, breathing, negotiating the full vocal range, vowel production), the art of vocalizing, lyric diction, and repertoire selection. While the class will focus on the "bel canto" (classical) style of singing, this same technique is applicable and useful to musical theater, jazz, and pop singing. Within a laboratory setting, students will receive group instruction and personalized individual feedback and attention as possible. Singers will prepare two songs in the course for the semester, one in English and one in a foreign language, to be performed from memory as soloists for the final exam. This course is open to all undergraduates across campus. Students involved in campus vocal ensembles are encouraged to enroll. No prior music experience is required.
