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.
