Description
Constructing Music: Musical Explorations in Creative Coding presents a new approach to teaching music fundamentals that combines creative coding practices with existing computing skills. By encouraging experimentation and simulation, students can gain a deeper understanding of the structure of music and its power over us.
This book uses analogies with toy bricks and references ideas from creative technology, engineering, and design to explain core music theory concepts in detail. Students engage directly with musical structure using editable short code patches developed in Max, a visual coding environment for interactive music, audio, and media.
