Students enroll in the section of GMUS 890 (and 876 in the cases of Designs Four and Five) matching the project advisor’s name during the semester they write and complete their projects:
June 24-August 2 | 6-9:30 p.m. Online, Monday and Wednesday CRN: 30217 This course explores the cognitive foundations of music. The course will examine the full range of physical, psychophysical and cognitive mechanisms that lead to musical experience. The course begins with the physics of musical instruments and the physical qualities of musical pitch. This leads to the psychophysics of hearing and why some sounds are experienced as consonant and others as dissonant. The course will then turn to perceptual organization and develop the sense in which music is an emergent phenomenon. Finally, we examine the structures in working memory that allow individual pitch events to be organized into musical expressions. Along the way, we will look at the general principles that govern the structure of music and also investigate the extent to which other species understand and hear music as music. The course will also include a deep analysis of musical expectancy in terms of fractal structure and dynamic systems. DIRECTED RESEARCH GMUS 876 (0 credits) CRN: 30237 Graduate Music Education Faculty The only occasions students register for GMUS 876 are when: 1. They have selected Designs Four or Five and are in the first semester of the process (see individual Design Four or Design Five guidelines), or 2. When they are in a “hold” mode of not working with their advisors for a term and thus are registered for GMUS 876-99. a. Students will not be assessed the one-credit tuition fee for a semester in which they are not working with their advisor but instead will register for GMUS 876-99 ($75 fee assessed) during these terms.
