Course Description
Music, and ideas about music, are shaped by technology. Long before the invention of the electric guitar or the iPod, instrument makers created new opportunities for composers and performers, and enterprising publishers popularized the first song books. Surveying the interaction between musical culture, instruments, and technologies from early times until the present day, students learn how such influences affect the conventions and creative possibilities available to musicians and society. The course explores instrument design and acoustics and the social histories of music printing and sound recording, among other topics. Students do not need to be able to read or write music notation to take this course.

Course Description
This course is designed to give practical lessons to various aspects of opera, such as breathing methods, voice production, direction, singing, acting, and costumes. The emphasis is placed on learning how to project voice using the force of diaphragm, rather than using throat for singing. The course is conducted in English, but other languages such as Italian, German, and French are also used to sing in the opera. The course examines how to sing with expression, how music and language are linked, conducting and performance.
