The unit will foster a deeper understanding of music and sound to help inform and situate your creative practice in a live performance context. This unit continues to build your musicianship with a focus on live performance techniques for music artists and those that support artists through live sound recording and live sound reinforcement. The unit will also develop skills related to multi-media elements, technology, and adapting to different contexts and environments. Students will explore the creative possibilities of combining music with visual arts, lighting, projection, and other multi-media tools, and develop performance skills necessary to adapt musical expression to various performance settings.
