How can composers maintain expressiveness in vocal music when specific meanings are elusive? We will focus on the manipulation of sound/speech qualities such as pitch, rhythm, phrasing, timbre, and tempo. Our multidisciplinary approach aims to both create and deconstruct language, exexploring new technologies to enhance individual expression and innovate inmusical communication.

CollegeAndrew is an amazing professor, incredibly fair grader and class is always an (educational) blast. He gives breaks halfway through, shows cool movies, and always leads great discussions. Creativity is rewarded. Homework and midterms/finals are super manageable, but still interesting.
The class was graded on weekly assignments and biweekly meetings, along with a short final paper and composition for the guitar. Andrew Watts is super friendly and engaging, all smiles and lenient with deadlines. As long as you put effort into your work, you should be fine!
