BART 92A17 - Creating a collaborative original piece of music

Musician or non-musician, fond of music and motivated to be creating an original musical piece, welcome to this workshop in which you will learn how to create your own song(s) or instrumental tracks in a band composed of your colleagues’ qualities. This will, I hope, help you break the ice with the other students in a collaborative and creative activity, inviting your imagination into a musical project which will be shared during the last lesson on campus.

At the end of the course, the student is expected to :

1°) Be able to structure his own musical piece

2°) Collaborate in creating a song in a group

3°) Be able to analyze specific styles of music creation

To validate the course, the student is expected to pass the following assignments :

1°) A small presentation about your own musicality - 1/3 of the final grade You will have to write and present in a powerpoint format anything about your own music taste, thoughts or philosophy. You will be graded in your capacity to be clear and structured about your thoughts and what you would like to share. The other point about this grade is your ability to interact with others and create a moment of interaction. It could be a quiz or a musical activity !

2°) Write a song or an instrumental piece with a band created in class - 1/3 of the final grade With the band you chose, write a song according to what we’ve been saying in class.

3°) Write a song or an instrumental piece in a band the professor will create - 1/3 of the final grade This time, I will pick the ones being in your band and you will have to create a song according to the qualities of everyone.
