Students enrolled in Music Technology I will focus on listening, composition, synthesis, timbre/patch design, aesthetics, history, sequencing, sampling, and technical aspects of MIDI, as well as the basics of audio production and MIDI setup. Students will demonstrate their understanding of the course materials by completing reading and listening assignments, attending required concert events, keeping a written journal, completing short assignments, creating short compositions and one longer final project, and completing mid-term and final exams.
