Winter 2025 Learning Community

Making Sound Musical

“Making Sound Musical” brings together two foundation General Education courses, one from Cluster Two (GNED 1203 – Nature and Ideas) and the other from Cluster One (GNED 1103 – Innovation). Together, they approach both sound and music as scientific innovations with quantitative elements - for example sound waves, propagation in instruments, tuning, symmetries, and more qualitative humanistic elements like perception, composition, philosophy, and historical context.  The course is taught by Charles Hepler from the Department of Math and Computing and Guy Obrecht from General Education.
