                   STRUCTURE AND INTERPRETATION OF MUSIC CONCEPTS --
                    MUSIC FROM A COMPUTATIONAL PERSPECTIVE
                   ==============================================

SYLLABUS -- 2002, semester A.

Instructors: Prof. Dalia Cohen and Dr. Mira Balaban.
===========

Teaching Assistant:  Shai Schwartz.
===================


Time: Wed, 15--18.
====

Goal: Computational study of music components. All concepts are implemented
      within the Scheme language.

Course plan:
===========
1. Chapter 1: Introduction.
2. Chapter 2: Music primitives.
3. Chapter 3: Time related concepts.
4. Chapter 4: Natural schemata in music.
5. Chapter 5: Learned schemata in the western Music.


Course organization:
===================
1. Web site: http://www.cs.huji.ac.il/~cps
2. It is recommended that students come to class with hard copies of the class
   notes.
3. Homework: There are "small" assignments during the semester, and a final
   project at the end.
4. There will be no final test.

Course grading:
==============
Homework -- 30%.
Final project    -- 70%.
