Introduction to Music | Sacred Music Group Activity | Queens College | Fall 2019
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

In-class activity for small groups of 3-4 students; intended to review the musical characteristics associated with four genres of sacred music: plainchant; organum; Renaissance mass; chorale. In the first phase, groups are asked to fill out a table with the musical characteristics of each genre while looking over their notes and textbook. In the second phase, groups are given online access to four anonymous musical examples (one for each genre). While listening and discussing at their own pace, groups should identify the genre for each example and give two reasons behind their choice. The format of this activity can be easily repurposed to fit other musical genres, periods, or styles.

This was an assignment developed to serve as an alternative to a concert report during the first stage of the Covid-19 pandemic in Spring 2020, in which the student is asked to compare three different versions of Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565 (the original for organ, Stokowski’s orchestration, and a version for brass ensemble), noting not only musical differences, but differences of venue and filming style. It is a medium-length writing assignment, intended to be done mid- to late-semester (once the students have learnt the musical elements) and to be worth approximately 10% of the final semester grade.

" Offered in the spring and fall terms, Introduction to Stagecraft is a hands-on course that gets students working with the tools and techniques of theatrical production in a practical way. It is not a design course but one devoted to artisanship. Among the many remarkable final projects that have been proposed and presented at the end of the course have been a Renaissance hourglass blown in the MIT glass shop and set into a frame turned on our set shop lathe; a four harness loom built by a student who then wove cloth on it; a number of chain mail tunics and coifs; a wide variety of costume and furniture pieces and electrified period lighting fixtures."

As one of the oldest artistic forms, theatre has been an enduring witness to the vicissitudes of art and society. This course will offer a survey of the creative dimensions of theatre, such as dramatic literature, directing, acting, scenography, lighting, costume etc. It will also introduce you to the various occupations of this collaborative art, such as director, playwright, dramaturg, designer, producer etc. Meanwhile, we will inquire about the relation between theatre and space, history, politics and society and contemplate our roles as audience and critics in the theatrical experience. The goal for this course is to offer students the means to discuss theatrical experiences (either as theatre makers or spectators) as well as a great variety of theatrical traditions and provide a basis for their future endeavors with this art form. This will require students to have a sound grasp of the course readings, reflect on them critically, articulate their own ideas, and eventually formulate their own understanding of this art form.

Introduction to Theatre Arts: More to the Stage Picture than Meets the Eye (& Ear)

0.0 stars

As per our course theme, there's more to the stage picture than meets the eye (& ear). Before an actor even enters a rehearsal studio or first steps onto the stage, months and often years of creative work and research will have gone into that play and production. In this course we will explore and try our hand at some of that pre-production creativity, as well as improvising, adapting, performing and writing short scenes and monologues that will be created and presented in small groups as part of your Final Project.

Introduction to World Music | Discussion: Music & Meaning | City College | Fall 2021

0.0 stars

Low-stakes written assignment that functions as an “in-class” activity for asynchronous course. Comes in 3rd week of class, after reading about music’s significance/meanings (as a concept) from textbook “Soundscapes: Exploring Music in a Changing World” (Shelemay 2015). Helps students engage with the concept by grounding it in their everyday musical experiences, individually and in relationship with one another. Students cite this activity as one of their favorites because it gives them the chance to share musical examples that are important for them in some way with their classmates, and to gain exposure to diverse musics shared by their classmates. I like this simple activity because it helps students grasp how specific musical meaning is, dependent upon many social factors (social context, identity/ies, physical setting, geographic orientation, etc); in other words, it helps counter the myth of music as universal language, in a way that builds from students’ own experiences and thus is more memorable and meaningful for them.

This syllabus & schedule is presented to students as a Google doc. In the first week of the semester I ask students to comment on the doc with any questions, feedback, observations, etc that they want to share. I then respond to student comments and adapt syllabus accordingly if needed. After doing so, students take an open-book syllabus quiz that asks them to locate certain information on the syllabus. This ensures that students are familiar with the syllabus. This Word doc is a clean version of the syllabus, what students see before commenting on it.
