Description
This class exists to dispel the myth that a person's maximum creative potential is already "build into" us from birth. creativity is a skill that can be trained and improved, and this course will prove that this process can be approached academically and even scientifically. In this course, students will directly embody creative exercises using the medium of music. Students will be exposed to various examples of advanced creative techniques and technologies that music creators have used to expand the language of music and their own creative potential. We will then put them into practice ourselves. Through this process we will discuss the nature of creativity and examine our own creative processes. Special attention will be paid to overcoming creative roadblocks and developing a toolkit of evidence-based techniques to apply to creative problem solving.
No prior music experience is necessary.
