Course Description
Summary
A brief, intensive workshop on writing about music, an essential act of multidisciplinary translation. We will read a range of short-form journalistic essays from across the musical spectrum. Students will write short concert and album reviews, developing a musical ear for language, while providing feedback and editing for each other. Special attention will be focused on describing sonic textures, venues, and multiple cultural contexts to a broad audience.
Note that this would be offered the 1st 7 weeks, then again the 2nd 7 weeks as an identical/separate course.
