MU421 Seminar in Music III

This 3-credit course will use a seminar format to study a wide range of advanced topics related to Music Theory, Music Composition, Music History and Music Technology. With the professor’s guidance, each student will choose a topic to study throughout the semester. The course work will include three substantial topic-specific projects, weekly study reports, and assigned readings. In class, students will report progress on projects, discuss their topics, give formal presentations, and receive feedback and guidance on completed projects. Regularly, we will critically listen to and discus music related to each student's topic. This course may be taken up to three times and will be offered about once a year. Prerequisite: MU151 Theory of Music I.
