COURSE (RE-)DESIGN<br />
EXPERIENTIAL<br />
LEARNING<br />
The laboratory sessions were restructured with<br />
fantasy-adventure lab assignments. Its<br />
inspiration was to set up the course like a Harry<br />
Potter potions class at Hogwarts.<br />
A total of nine weekly theme-based lab<br />
assignments were designed. Students had a<br />
chance to develop designs for acoustic music<br />
instruments in computer music languages (e.g.<br />
Csound) and radically adapt music to different<br />
situations.<br />
The lecture sessions changed<br />
accordingly to a briefing and<br />
debriefing format that revolved<br />
around the lab assignments.<br />
Students will share their musical creations and learn<br />
from one another, allowing them to dive in and<br />
create music that modulates the moods of listeners.
