Ongoing Courses Making Music Over six sessions, we will learn how we can make self-expressive music using artificial intelligence and traditional music composition apps. We will explore how to engage our listeners more richly, whether by prompting an A.I. to set our own lyrics to music, or writing a song from scratch in a music composition app. A special focus will be finding and developing our own voice and self-expression, and to discover psychological theories that help composers, songwriters and performers to connect with listeners.
