MUSI 762: Artist Diploma Seminar

MUSI 762 is a class aimed at introducing a wide range of practical techniques and knowledge for the working musician in the modern age. As part of this, the DMC offered a two part crash course in various essential aspects of digital media literacy for the practicing musician. The students learned how to create a WordPress website, create a basic promotional flyer in Powerpoint, basic video and audio editing techniques with Adobe Premiere, and the basics of portrait photography. DMC staff demonstrated these various techniques primarily via in-class sessions (in this case, via Zoom), with an optional out of class in-person (socially distanced) session for demonstrating portrait photography, in which DMC staff took headshots for those who participated. Additionally, students checked out video cameras and audio recorders from the DMC to self-record their performances.

Video Assignment in MUSI 222 ( Fall 2013 )

In this class, students were asked to produce a short video on a piece of medieval and renaissance music in small teams. The video should include historical and cultural context for the piece and the composer; an analysis of the score; and a performance of the piece.

DMC Support: The DMC offered in-class training that covered DMC resources (audio/video equipment, audio/video editing software), recording and editing tips and tricks, etc., and provided assistance in post-production process.
