MUS 270 Composition-Arranging

May be repeated for additional credit. Taught as a studio lesson, this course is tailored to the background of the individual student. Some students have tried writing music on their own. For others, composition is a nascent process. Students for whom this is the first experimentation with this kind of creative process often perform better by being given specific compositional parameters. These students may fare better by starting with an arrangement assignment. Bearing in mind that music is an aural art, an effort is made for students taking this course to have at least one piece performed during the semester. Many have had their pieces performed at one of the scheduled student recitals. Others who are more advanced may even perform original works at their senior recitals.
