Aplicaciones musicales con Arduino (Coursera)

Aplicaciones musicales con Arduino (Coursera)

En este curso nos adentraremos en el terreno del hardware. Concretamente, aprenderemos a utilizar la placa de desarrollo de hardware de código abierto, llamada Arduino, enfocándonos en las aplicaciones que esta ofrece para la experimentación musical. De manera más específica, aprenderemos en este curso a construir nuestros propios generadores de sonido, y a partir de ello haremos instalaciones sonoras que nos permitirán expandir nuestra creatividad hacia el terreno de las cosas materiales, y ya no solo de los datos informáticos.

Jazz Improvisation (Coursera) Coursera
Berklee College of Music

Jazz Improvisation (Coursera)

Learn the basic concepts of improvisation from Gary Burton, one of the most renowned improvisers in the jazz world, including the mental, melodic, and harmonic processes that contribute to the instinctive skills that an improviser puts to use when taking a solo. While many people are fans of jazz and understand that musicians are often “making up” the notes they are playing during a performance, most people—often including musicians, themselves, who are beginning to learn improvising—aren’t clear about what exact processes take place to enable this to happen. The purpose of this course is to introduce the basic concepts of modern improvisation and how to go about mastering the different musical and mental skills involved.

Exploring Beethoven's Piano Sonatas (Coursera) Coursera

Exploring Beethoven's Piano Sonatas (Coursera)

Our relationship to Beethoven is a deep and paradoxical one. For many musicians, he represents a kind of holy grail: His music has an intensity, rigor, and profundity which keep us in its thrall, and it is perhaps unequalled in the interpretive, technical, and even spiritual challenges it poses to performers. At the same time, Beethoven’s music is casually familiar to millions of people who do not attend concerts or consider themselves musically inclined. Two hundred years after his death, he is everywhere in the culture, yet still represents its summit. This course takes an inside-out look at the 32 piano sonatas from the point of view of a performer.
