MUS 73700 (Brooklyn) Computer Music 2
Tuesdays 3:50-6:20 pm 3 credits Rm. 252G Prof. Wolman [62646]
This course is aimed at composers with good knowledge of technology. It will emphasize the creative use of computers in a live interactive fashion enabling us to create new pieces of music. It will focus on the compositional aspect of the creation of a piece of music. Max/MSP will be used by the students for all projects. Other pieces of software will be presented and used alongside.
Every week each student will present a piece of music using software designed by the students as a group or alone. This will be followed by a discussion of the piece, related repertoire, and topics. It is preferable if the students will present a new piece or etude every week (thus creating fourteen) but it will be possible to work on new sections of a single piece.
MUS 76005 (Brooklyn) Symphonic Poem
Mondays, 3:50-6:20 pm 3 credits Rm. 249G Prof. MacIntyre [62633]
MUS 76006 (Brooklyn) History of Computer Music
Tuesdays 6:30-9 pm 3 credits Rm. 249G Prof. Wolman [62634]
Since the first use of the computer to create pieces of music in the late 50's the field of computer music has grown in leaps and bounds. From an era when only few specialists, using large computers in specialized centers, who created music within specific aesthetic (albeit large) bounds, to our time when computer music evolved into music that is created by an instrument, available to all, with no aesthetic ramifications. The history of computer music mirrors the changes the world has gone through while learning to live with computer technologies. The seminar would present an outline of this process through repertoire, discussions of the forces of history, and aesthetics. The students would be expected to listen and read, as well as develop tools for analysis based on hearing alone without the benefit of written scores.

Piano Pedagogy
Wednesdays, 10-111:50am 2 credits Rm. 314 Prof. Pirone
Advanced Piano Pedagogy is a hands-on workshop designed to develop one's technique and knowledge of piano playing and pedagogy skills. It will address the many functional facets and challenges of the independent teacher, and will further enhance and cultivate teaching, learning and performance practices which were discussed in Piano Pedagogy 1. (Note: Students who have not taken Piano Pedagogy I may register for this class with the permission of the instructor.) Performances and master class sessions will be combined with the demonstration and comparison of teaching materials and performance repertoire pertinent to elementary through advanced levels of playing.
Students in Advanced Piano Pedagogy may be provided the opportunity to teach non-pianists who may need help in keyboard classes or education majors who need to improve their keyboard skills. Students and teachers will be guided and lessons will be monitored as part of the class curriculum.
Students (pianists or non-pianists) who are taking keyboard harmony and need to develop their piano skills may also register for this course. These students will be assigned a student teacher from the class, and will participate as piano students in the workshop portion of it. Permission of the instructor is required of all those who are not piano majors, or who have not taken Piano Pedagogy I. Contact Dr. Pirone at (718) 961-7425, or
