In this class you will investigate the basic principles relating to the nature and production of musical sound. An understanding of these principles will enable you to make meaningful comparisons among sounds, appreciate how the characteristics of sound are dependent on the way it is created, and apply your knowledge in making health conscious decisions concerning the sound environment in which you live. In addition, you will gain some understanding of the acoustical principles in the design of instruments and performance spaces.
