The module will be taught in a variety of ways: in addition to 'straight' lectures, there will be demonstrations, workshops, electroacoustic studio sessions (including familiarity with computer-based editing, mixing and signal processing software) tutorials, and guided listening and reading. The aim is to stimulate the growth of composition and to use all available means to achieve it. Attendance at the weekly MiniBEAST listening sessions in the Dome Room is also encouraged.
