Courses

The course provides students with the software skills and theoretical knowledge required to apply latent construct measurement techniques in R. The course assumes a working knowledge of R, linear regression, and basic probability. Continuous and categorical latent variables, dimensionality reduction, clustering, and finite mixture and diagnostic classification models are covered. The course focuses on cross-sectional applications of measurement techniques, with examples drawn from education, psychology, social science.

Additionally, its course description should be updated to: The course will offer a historic and practical foundation for understanding and identifying the core issues surrounding the creation of music using modular sound synthesis technologies. The lectures will present a series of alternative strategies in composing and performing with digitally assisted analog equipment. The ongoing class assignments will support both technical and cognitive understanding and usage of the hybrid approach.

This course focuses on speech changes triggered by neurological disease or head trauma. Students learn to distinguish among various types of dysarthria and apraxia of speech through a hypothesis-driven approach and evidence-based framework. Students acquire skills for making diagnoses, constructing hierarchies, identifying potential treatments, and estimating prognosis. The course uses a patient-centered approach to explore the impact of multicultural and psychosocial factors on the adult patient's participation in rehabilitation.

This course examines anatomical, biomechanical, developmental, and qualitative principles of human movement analysis. It is an overview of object analysis and notation systems of movement in dance. The movement analysis models include methods for describing, assessing, documenting, and delivering feedback/assessments applicable to all dance forms. Students explore systems such as Language of Dance, Movement Behavior Analysis and Profiling, Laban Movement Analysis, Eshkol-Wachman Movement Notation, and others.

This is a course on models for multi-level growth curve data. These data arise in longitudinal designs, which are quite common to education and applied social, behavioral and policy science. Traditional methods, such as OLS regression, are not appropriate in this settings, as they fail to model the complex correlational structure that is induced by these designs. Proper inference requires that we include aspects of the design in the model itself. Moreover, these more sophisticated techniques allow the researcher to learn new and important characteristics of the social and behavioral processes under study. In this module, we will develop and fit a set of models for longitudinal designs (these are often called growth curve models). The course assignments will use state of the art statistical software to explore, fit and interpret the models.

This course teaches models for multilevel nested data that arise in nested designs. Traditional methods, such as OLS regression, are not appropriate in this setting as they fail to model the complex correlational structure that is induced by these designs. This class explores how to develop and fit a set of models for nested designs through multilevel regression, also known as mixed effects models or hierarchical linear models.

Multichannel Media Installation & Performance is a course designed for composers & artists who want to work in a performance or installation context with immersive sound & image technology. The course focuses on software & hardware workflows for the creative applications of multi-channel sound & immersive video for the creation of fixed, generative, reactive, performance-based, & interactive systems that can be experienced in a gallery context or a live performance. Students will develop a semester-length project to use scale & immersion to creative effect. The course will feature regular creative critique as well as an overview of relevant interaction design strategies for creating interactive spaces using sensors & cameras.

Current theories and practices in multicultural and anti-bias education. Reflection on self and others leading to a critical examination of multiple perspectives. Development of transformative multicultural curricula based on an understanding of the historical/social context in which groups interacted and formulated world views.

This course explores theories, research, teaching methods, and policies related to the education of multilingual learners in early childhood education. Key topics explored include (1) Models and programs of bilingual and ENL (English as a New Language) education, and their evaluation in the literature; (2) teaching methods and strategies for multilingual learners in diverse classroom contexts (3) cultural, social, and political perspectives on language minority education and family/community engagement. Emphasis is on pedagogical implications of the above.

Assignment to music industry companies. Responsibilities include business administration, creative services, marketing, production, & promotion. Mid-term & final company analysis reports required.

A coordinated sequence of workshops, seminars & other activities that provides professional development for Music Business Graduate Program students from their first to last semesters. The sequence has two components: Workshops and Executive Connection. Both components are coordinated with a third: Music Business Graduate Internship, which is a separate for-credit course (E85.2510), & supported by an online component.

In this course, students present their compositional work in a public performance. Students receive guidance and resources for the presentation of a marathon style concert featuring work by all Juniors in the composition program. Students will work with the instructor to coordinate and develop all aspects of the concert experience including production, marketing, and programming. The class will be a combination of group and individual meetings culminating in a marathon concert at the end of the semester.

In this course students examine landmark music copyright cases and music copyright laws through class lectures, research, and participation in study groups. This knowledge is applied in student study groups which present music copyright litigations on behalf of plaintiffs or defendants in selected cases following the model of in-class presentations.

Explores the role of critics in the development of individual careers and in more general tendencies in music and the arts. The approach is largely practical, with discussions of the 'real world' of music and journalism, analysis of published and unpublished reviews, examination of the criteria that go into critical thinking, and the writing of several reviews. Reading assignments provide historical and theoretical contexts.

Musical, aesthetic, and technical processes of assembling and shaping a film's soundtrack in collaboration with the filmmaker and composer. Collaborative projects encompassing film score recording sessions, an understanding of the music editor's position, responsibilities, and techniques in the post-production process of a film.

Study of philosophical, psychological, and sociological concepts that form a foundation for the teaching of music.

Chorus, Recorder Pedagogy, and Ensembles are custom-designed for students' needs. Course work includes Modally methodology 3 (fifth and sixth grade school levels, middle school, continuing work with the older beginners, and curriculum planning) and Choral Conducting 3 (all beat patterns, expressive gestures, rehearsal planning). Students continue advanced Modally based musicianship in Solfeggi 3 (modal, diatonic, and chromatic solfeggi, complex chord progressions). Students complete their traditional song collections
