Courses Offered in Fall 2009 (98AY 1S)

邀請國內外學者、專家蒞臨本所舉行專題演講，以豐富同學對於音樂創作、演奏、與研究等領域及其他相關學科之知識與視野，啟發對於音樂之技術性、思想性、評論性等多面向之探索。

A core-course in two semesters for all year one students. Those who are interested in writing research paper in music are also welcome. In the first semester, we'll be exploring about the what, why and how of music research, in the second the different sources and resources (literary, notational, audio-visual). We'll be doing a lot of thinking, reading, talking and writing, in and out of the classroom. An important companion throughout our journey will be the computer with the internet. Our aim is to train ourself to be a modern-day musician-scholar, who can make music and make sense of music cleverly and critically. Concrete "product" at the end of the semester will be a mini-conference and an anthology of selected written work. Reading assignments for performers will focus on recent research in musical performance.

A writing seminar where individual research projects (e.g. thesis, course work) are presented and discussed. Focus will be on theoretical and methodological issues in musicological research and writing, from the mundane question of form and style to the deep question of value and meaning. The aim is to help each other to be a more experienced and critical writer of academic paper. The end "product" for each participant will be a revised and improved paper (oral and written). A mini-conference and an anthology of selected paper are planned.
At the same time, we'll be practicing the "art and craft" of "conferencing," and hope to foster a sense of academic community among us.
