Course Description
Musical acoustics is a unique area of study where "art" and "science" meet, providing a natural venue for learning about and appreciating science. This course will explore the generation and propagation of sound and the ear's response to sound. We will study sound generated from musical instruments and by the human voice. There will also be a brief review of room acoustics, electronic synthesis and reproduction of music, and digital sound.
