Workshop:
Composition |
||
|
Professor |
George Tsontakis |
||
|
Schedule |
Mon 1:30 pm -3:50 pm BLM HALL |
||
Primarily for music
majors interested in composing music but also for performers who want to get
“on the other side of the page.” This
class will compose music that will be written down and passed to players to be
rehearsed and taped. Every step of the
process is assisted (particularly at the notational level) and discussed. Players
in the class, as well as students and professional players from outside, will
later join in to help bring each piece to life in sound. In addition, other twentieth-century works
are played and discussed and occasional visits to performances of new music are
made. Individual meetings are arranged
on a regular basis. Being able to read
music is a prerequisite. See instructor
before registration.

Workshop:
Songwriting |
||
|
Professor |
Greg Armbruster |
||
|
Schedule |
Mon 4:00 pm – 6:20 pm OLIN 104 |
||
All songwriters, as well as poets, lyricists,
singers, instrumentalists, and composers are invited to create and share their
original work in this safe forum for collaboration, performance, feedback,
discussion, and analysis. The goal is
to help participants express more clearly their musical intentions in song
form. Lyrics, setting, clarity, musical
scene, melody, accompaniment, accompaniment and voice as duet, notation,
editing, rewriting, and the collaborative process are examined. Collaborative projects among class
participants are organized and writing assignments focus on skill
building. Participants present their
work with or without self-accompaniment or in collaboration with others. Guests may attend class in order to help
participants present their music.
Although previously written work may be presented, the focus is
primarily on work in progress or work composed during the semester, with the
specific goal of writing ten new songs.
An open performance is given at the last class meeting.

Workshop:
Vocal and Voice |

|
Professor |
Arthur Burrows |
||
|
Schedule |
Mon 10:00 am - 12:00 pm BLM HALL |
||
In this singing class we explore the art songs of
America, England, France and Germany, including some opera arias and ensembles
depending on the make-up of the class.
At the same time we learn the necessary technique to perform them
successfully. Each class will be
divided into two parts. The first will
deal with vocal technique, and the second with technical issues that arise from
individual performance. Requirements:
the ability to match pitches, and an adequate vocal range. Pianists will be
assigned individual singers to work with and coached in the various musical
styles.
