Applied Lessons
Composition Lessons

Notation is heavily emphasized. Interested students should have already
complete at least two semesters of music theory and

Electro-Acoustic Composition Lessons
- MUAP 1188 - half-hour electro-acoustic music composition.
- MUAP 1288 - one-hour electro-acoustic music composition.

syntheis as well as algorithmic and interactive techniques.
