Musical Information (Mus 253/CS 275A)

Prerequisites:

This course sequence is designed for graduate students and upper-level undergraduates students. A basic knowledge of music theory is advisable (equivalent to Mus 19) and the ability to read music in at least one clef is required. Auditors are also welcome; enrolled students are given priority access to computers in the Braun lab (#129).

Completion of the first quarter of the sequence is normally a prerequisite for the second quarter (Music 254 / CS 275B).



Textbook:

Beyond MIDI: The Handbook of Musical Codes, ed. Eleanor Selfridge-Field (The MIT Press, 1997).

A copy of the Textbook is available in the Lab, but also is available for home use from the Stanford Book Store and other on-line bookstores.
