CNSV 211 Alexander Technique for Musicians |
1 credit |
|
|
|
|
1 credit The Alexander Technique provides a way of
teaching us how to re-connect with our own innate energies. For musicians
this means discovering a way of performing with greater muscular ease, less
accumulated fatigue and a less restrictive approach to technique. This
course introduces both F. M. Alexander's principles and a new set of physical
experiences suited to the musician's specific needs. The aim of the class
will be learning how to apply the Technique to practice and performance
situations. Students will have the opportunity to work with their instruments
in class. Instructor: Alex Farkas

CNSV 299 The Syntax of Natural Language |
4 credits |
M . W . . |
3:10 – 4:30 pm |
|
|
Formal syntax, the mental computation connecting thought and
language, has been the object of
intensive empirical and theoretical inquiry within linguistics for more than
half a century. In its mature form,
syntax has made it possible to formulate coherent questions and suggest plausible answers with respect to
traditional problems such as the origins of the language faculty, the
relationship between words and concepts and the apparent miracle of language
acquisition. This will be an elementary course focusing on basic concepts in
syntax which form the foundation for intermediate and advanced work in the
field. Topics covered include parts of speech, phrase structure rules,
c-command, theta roles, X-bar theory, government, head and DP movement, case
marking, wh- islands constraints, parameters, concluding with a brief introduction
to current work within the minimalist program. There are no prerequisites for
the class, however, a basic comfort level with abstract theoretical explanation
and/or formal systems (i.e. as encountered in formal logic, programming
languages, mathematics, physics, etc.) will be helpful.
Open to all students. Instructor: John Halle

CNSV 316 Seminar: Topics in Music Cognition |
4 credits |
. . .Th. |
2:00-4:30 pm |
|
|
This seminar will be focused around the discussion of
chapters from Dmitri Tymoczko's recently published Geometry of Music and Fred
Lerdahl's Tonal Pitch Space along with (if possible) guest lectures by both of
these scholars. Additional topics and readings will be engaged based on the
interests and abilities of students in the class. This class requires a
reasonable degree of preparation, i.e. previous classes in formal music theory
and/or formal systems, and/or a strong motivation and willingness to work independently.
