Final Project

A composition project takes the place of the final exam. The piece should be of appropriate length and technical sophistication. It should make use of some of the tools and techniques covered in this class.

We will present projects during the official exam time (see syllabus). For pieces that require a performer not in the class, please line up well in advance someone who can make the exam time. If this is impossible, we can find another way for you to present your work to the class.

Work can appear on the next CECM concert, held in late January.

Begin thinking about the piece right away, because there is not that much time left in the semester. I will expect you to show me a preliminary version of the project during the last week of class. I am available to meet with you privately about the project, so please take advantage of this.

Please send me an email proposing your project, so I’ll have an idea what you want to do.
