The B.S. In Music Composition and Technology, rooted primarily in the Western art music tradition, focuses on composition for acoustic and electronic instruments, and for combined and/or interactive live and digital sources, while exploring ways in which the art form continues to challenge and enhance our notion of composition, performance and music as integral forces in the cultures we encounter. The Music Composition and Technology program at Northeastern University is a concentration in Music Composition. Rooted in the Western art music tradition, students study composition for both acoustic and electronic instruments and explore ways in which electronic and computer-based technologies continue to challenge and enhance our notion of music composition and performance. Creative works that focus on sound synthesis, processed recordings and/or the interaction between live instruments and electronic sounds are just some of the exciting interests that students pursue. Students in the program learn to compose using the newest technologies and techniques, including sound design, real-time processing, synthesis, MIDI sequencing, digital audio mixing and mastering. Students also take courses in music theory, notation, history and analysis. In addition, students receive private composition lessons, in which they work one-on-one with an instructor to complete short-form compositions (private lessons require an additional fee). Students regularly have the opportunity to participate in public concerts, where they can hear their music performed by musicians and/or presented using the programâ€™s multi-speaker sound diffusion system. Music Composition and Technology is a selective program that combines rigorous coursework with a large number of exciting creative projects. Classes are small and students are given a significant amount of personal attention and receive considerable feedback on their artistic activities. Upon completion of the program, students should be able to compose music for a wide range of genres and settings and will be well prepared for further studies in graduate school. Outcomes: Students graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Music with concentration in Music Composition and Technology are expected to have acquired the following competencies: Music Theory Skills, Musicianship Skills, History and Literature Skills, Composition Skills, Sound Production Skills, Research Skills, Professional Skills.
