In this course, the participants will be mentored by a faculty member or artist-in-residence in topics ranging from compositional concepts and performance practice to improvised methodology. Students will be expected to participate in the course in a number of ways including contributing to class discussions, performance(s), and composition projects. Students will also be required to document and reflect on their work, and the work of others in the class. As this is part of The Stone Lab, this course will predominantly focus on the music of living performers/composers and their influence on NYC's creative music scene.
