MFA 503  Hybrid Instrumentation and Arrangement

Basic skills in instrumentation and arrangement are the first steps toward accomplishment in the craft of orchestration, which is the ability to make musical instruments “speak together” in a powerful and coherent way. During this course, you will go beyond basic grounding in orchestral instrumentation and learn about instrumentation for screen media, which incorporates a wide range of non-symphonic, folk, ethnic, electronic and even invented instruments and techniques for how they can be blended effectively to produce the contemporary hybrid score.

This course is 4.5 credits.
